The Nethermind Security Formal Verification team, led by Julian Sutherland and in collaboration with RISC Zero, has built a framework for verification of Zirgen zk‑circuits using Lean, and has already verified several in‑production RISC Zero circuits. Read more about this

At RISC Zero, security always comes first. The Formal Verification team at Nethermind Security has developed a framework to formally verify our Zirgen‑based ZK‑circuits using Lean.

At the Modular & L2 day at ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄, many interesting thoughts on making L2s more performant and user-centric from BREAD | ∑: (MegaETH), 🤓Kenny.manta (Manta Network (🔱,🔱)), Dino (Fluent), avi (=nil; Foundation), 0xmendes.eth 🥁 (Taiko.eth 🥁), and mareko.eth | Celo L2 🦇🌳

With Julian Sutherland in Cannes at the Provable 🦁 event at ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄, representing the Nethermind Security Formal Verification team. Come talk to us!

Listening to expert insights of Jeremy Bruestle (RISC Zero, Boundless) and Uma Roy (Succinct) on zk past, present, and future at the Provable 🦁 event at ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄. At Nethermind Security, we have already made the first steps towards formal verification of the

What ideas has academia got to help the crypto sector? Come find out at The Bleeding Edge Summit at ETHDenver 🏔🦬🦄!

Nethermind Security has developed the most complete formal model of the EVM execution layer. 🚀❤️‍🔥 This work strengthens the security of Ethereum, providing a foundation for formal verification of execution clients and #zkVMs. 1/

With Julian Sutherland and @khr314 at #ZKProof 7 in Sofia, representing the Nethermind Security Formal Verification team and looking forward to learning more about the current state of the zk ecosystem! Come find us and talk to us :)

Come meet Nethermind’s research and security teams. Albert Garreta | Hiring | Nethermind will talk about two recent results from the Research team: Oval - a new post quantum secure folding scheme, an improvement of Latticefold and Nethermind’s implementation of Dan Boneh and Binyi Chen Latticefold.

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded a grant from the Ethereum Foundation to advance formal verification of zk circuits! 🦾 1/

Another day, another grant! 🔥 Nethermind has received a grant from Ethereum Foundation to formally model the FRI protocol in Lean and draft a blueprint for formal verification of its security guarantees. 1/

It was a great pleasure to work with Uma Roy, John Guibas, and Tamir Hemo on building a proof-of-concept framework for formal verification of SP1 zk chips! Looking forward to our next collaboration!

Great work by Petar Maksimović | Nethermind and the formal verification team at Nethermind Security Verifying circuits w/ Lean allows precise and guided verification. Amazing to see how mature these tools are for circuit verification is with the right setup (the hard part)

At Nethermind Security, we’re building infrastructure for formal verification of real-world zkVMs. We’ve applied our approach to R0VM by RISC Zero and SP1 by Succinct, two of the most advanced zkVMs in use today. 1/

A previously in-production Scroll Keccak-256 zk-circuit could be tricked into accepting any output as valid. Testing didn’t catch it. Audits didn’t catch it. Formal verification did. We proved the math was wrong and built a PoC to show it. 🔗 nethermind.io/blog/formal-ve…

1/ Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for Irreducible. We started as a custom-hardware company, and now we are fully focused on high-performance software. Read below about our pivot and our new proof system, Binius64 👇
