Big thanks to David Wong and the zksecurity.xyz team for helping us architect one of the ZPRIZE categories this year!

Major breakthroughs were made & a new standard was set for ECDSA-signature verification inside of a SNARK. I'd highly recommend checking out their summary.

See you in Paris next week!

I made a list

Is there a **leaderless** consensus protocol?

What does it formally mean that a protocol 'has no leader'?

Changes on EVERY page, new chapter 'Cryptocurrency cryptography' inc. PoW, algebraic hashing & Poseidon, multi-signatures, threshold signatures, zero-knowledge proofs, and more.
NEW: section about Ed25519; the new Linux PRNG; NIST's PQC standards

holy shit, noname is about to work with snarkjs. You're going to be able to write and verify zk circuits using noname on Ethereum really soon :D amazing work from katat

I enjoyed talking to Anna Rose & guille on the Zero Knowledge Podcast podcast about Jolt, the sum-check protocol, and how SNARKs will evolve! I'm excited to see where these innovations take us next.

When I fly 🛫 , my mind sometimes wanders to my favorite crypto tricks! 🤓

Last week, it landed on Shamir secret *re*sharing via the 'share your share' approach! What a *beautiful* technique! 🤩

Couldn't help myself, so I wrote a short blog post ✍️:

What if… verifying the execution of pairings inside SNARKs can be done much faster than already known?

Andrija Novakovic and @LiamEagen have just published a paper on this!

Let’s explore this below 🧵

anyone interested in giving a talk (or attending)? In Paris on May 13th

In Paris? We are as well, let's meet up at Station F on May 12th to hang out and talk zero-knowledge proofs! lu.ma/syqfn4v4

You're into zero-knowledge proofs and in Paris? Let's meet on Sunday May 12th at Station F! lu.ma/syqfn4v4

Google Maps keep deleting my saved places, am I the only one?

We’re nearing the anniversary of zkSecurity. Will have more to say about that but needless to say that we have accomplished so much more than what I could have imagined when we started a year ago. We easily positioned ourselves as the best zk security company on the market.

People motivated to learn aren’t going to wait for a magical list of papers to get going.
