who's building privacyBeat? we need an L2BEAT 💗-esque service with stage based classifications for privacy vs confidentiality and a breakdown of trust assumptions

It’s generally harder to prove nothing happened (e.g. no data leaked) than to show something worked at least once (e.g. an AI agent did the task). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Let's start with Miden ser! Cooking some privacy-preserving cross-chain goodness, just wrapped a small EVM<>Miden testnet bridge there while waiting for the big boss to show up.

*why zk matters* despite all the hype, i think everyone is still sitting on the three actual use cases for zk that will transform tech over the next decade privacy is the obvious one: zero-knowledge proofs attest things are true without revealing data, so you can confirm

Can someone explain how this bi-L2 on Bitcoin and Ethereum thing with Starknet 🐺🐱 works? Kinda confusing tbh

Finally found time to dig into the Miden miden-client repo and get my hands dirty. Using the crate in our product, wanna understand why certain things were done that way. Opened my first PR! (just a README update lol)

We should rename zk-rollups to k-rollups. It's more succinct. It accurately reflects that they aren't zero-knowledge. And when someone wants to tell you about their cool 'zk' rollup, you can just respond with: k.

Happy Birthday Rust Language 🦀 From system programming to ZK and smart contracts — Rust is the language for building serious crypto infra today.

Haseeb ＞|＜ Well, It’s like those sci-fi movies from the '80s that imagined our times full of space colonies and walking robots. Man in space – 1961 Man on the Moon – 1969 Man on Mars – wen? Progress has been wildly non-linear in both directions

🫡 Miden is going to shake things up, and I’m proud to be part of the journey with our team!

ZEXE made private smart contracts possible, but struggles when coordination is needed, like in DEXs, voting, or auctions. This new paper extends ZEXE with coSNARKs to enable doubly private coordination. Both data and identities stay hidden. Great to see them building on our

Playbook of a BD in Cannes: - Exchange TGs and take a picture to stay in touch - Check chat history - Oh, ahah, notice you already took a picture at Token 2049 in Dubai - Oh, ahahaha, another picture at ETH Denver - Suggest hopping on a call next week when you're back home -

so true

Totally deserved, awesome team! Lukas Helminger congrats!

There’s also an interesting trend in confidential on-chain transactions where the amount is hidden but the sender and receiver remain public. I’d place them somewhere between 1 and 2, I guess.
