Very excited to share our Axiom V2 mainnet release! For V2 we really focused on the developer experience: now you can use the power of ZK in your smart contracts to build data-rich applications with only Solidity and Typescript!

Axiom V2 goes to mainnet today after many months of work — we’re excited to give developers access to the entire history of Ethereum in a flexible and easy-to-use way. Looking forward to seeing the new types of applications this primitive enables!

We're announcing the second cohort of the Axiom ZK Intensive. This is a 5 week program for smart contract developers interested in building ZK-enabled on-chain applications. Applications open today and close Feb 7. The program will start the week of Feb 20. To apply, see 👇

Ah, the post-hackathon hangover: when you can’t make sense of any of your code because it was written by a caffeinated monkey on a sugar rush

Thinking of what to hack on at ZK Hack Montréal (Aug 9-11)? Let’s take some inspiration from some ZK Hack Kraków winners and look into two technical projects from the Top 3: chip0 by αλ and Private UTXO Discovery by Kai Jun Eer & @cheechyuanang 🧵👇

been messing around with noir and got a 250x speedup for verifying rsa signatures vs the existing lib 2,048 bit RSA sig now verifies in 28k constraints lib is super unfinished will share deets when stable should help with passport proofs, zk email etc noir gud

Devnet is now live! 🎉 To celebrate, we’re launching Alpha Build, a series of three developer sprints with a USD $100,000 prize pool and the opportunity to deploy on the Aztec Network for the first time. Learn more and get involved ⤵️ aztec.network/blog/devnet-go…

We're excited to announce OpenVM, a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. OpenVM introduces a novel modular design allowing developers to extend the ISA, ZK circuits, and proof system in one unified framework.

Excited to announce OpenVM, a new performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. It was very fun contributing to the initial design. This will be the future of zkVM design — user-led customization without forking the core architecture.

Introducing Quick Merkle Database (QMDB), a high-performance verifiable database optimized for blockchains. • 2.28M state updates per second, 1M TPS (benchmarked transfers per second). • Benchmarked with workloads up to 15B (10x Ethereum’s 2024 state) and proven capacity to

We are excited to announce the v1.0.0 release of OpenVM. OpenVM is now recommended for production use after a competitive audit by Cantina 🪐. At Axiom, we look forward to working with teams to unlock the power of ZK in production with OpenVM.

After one year of development and a competitive audit by Cantina 🪐, we are excited to release the first production v1.0.0 version of OpenVM. This is the next step in our mission to build a modular zkVM framework giving developers extensibility without tradeoffs on performance.

Aztec’s Public Testnet is live. The privacy revolution is finally here.
