🎙️ This week Anna Rose and Nico chat with Matthew Klein and Albert Garreta | Hiring | Nethermind from Nethermind about their work on lattice-based cryptography, including LatticeFold implementations, post-quantum signatures, and innovative approaches to zkML. zeroknowledge.fm/podcast/361

did you miss Zero Knowledge Podcast summit 13? So did I.... But don't falter, here's a deep research summary of what happened .../

It was a pleasure to speak about lattice-based zk and our Latticefold efforts at Zero Knowledge Podcast! Among others, we discussed the performance of Pedersen, Merkle (with Poseidon or Keccak), and Ajtai commitment schemes. You'll find the benchmarks and the repo here:

Wrote a post on the Google Wallet ZKP This is not "just a simple application of ZK", it has a very interesting proof system and many brilliant insights. Highly recommend to have a closer look! Summary and link below (and Zero Knowledge Podcast episode coming soon 👀)

Volunteers needed! 🔥 Join us as a part of the team for the 5th edition of ZK Hack IRL in Berlin. Fill in the form (first comment) and see you there!

👀 ZK Mesh for May dropped this weekend

Catch Jessica Chen's talk from last month's zkSummit! Her work introduces a 3-round sumcheck protocol that achieves almost linear runtime without additional commitment costs. youtube.com/watch?v=_G-B0w…

In last month's talk, Wei Dai broke down the fundamental trilemma of financial privacy. His talk mapped out the trade-offs between usefulness, self-sovereignty, and threat-resistance win privacy solutions, examining how ZK, MPC, and FHE approaches fit into this framework.

At ZK13, 映彤 ✨🌱𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚘𝚗𝚐.𝚎𝚝𝚑🌱✨ explains how zkID team at PSE is helping bring ZK standards, specially useful for identities. Working with the EU digital ID effort and pushing for modular, programmable ZK standards that match how proof systems are actually built. Focusing on: -

In his hands-on workshop, Tobias Bergkvist showed how to build an example program to the Toronto audience, exploring constraint systems and using binary tower data types. youtube.com/watch?v=9SPKD1…

🎙️This week Anna Rose sits down with Madhavan (Maddy) from Reclaim Protocol to talk about zkTLS and supporting web2 use-cases. They talk about how Reclaim came to be, the different modes of zkTLS, and what you can build on top of it. zeroknowledge.fm/podcast/362

Last month at #zksummit, Kobi Gurkan presented on Ligerito, an efficient new polynomial commitment scheme advancing the work of Ligero, which works over any codes. youtube.com/watch?v=5vPmHC…

At last month's summit, Mohammed and Jack Gilcrest presented their library which bridges traditional banking and ZK. Their tool unlocks onchain escrows and RWA, shown their live demo on Revolut using Aztec testnet. youtube.com/watch?v=eG-PGJ…

Naruto11.eth naah. i listen to almost no crypto podcasts. reading works for me better rare exceptions have been Zero Knowledge Podcast and Gwart’s show

Couldn't be at #zkSummit13? Don't miss howardwu.aleo 🦁 and Alessandro Coglio's talk exploring how formal verification is revolutionizing zkVMs! From Leo code to R1CS, hear about how mathematical proofs are securing Aleo's L1 and shaping the future of privacy-preserving computation:

Last month at #zkSummit13, Mikerah talks through what design considerations that go into making a custom ISA for Multi-Party Compute (MPC). Guest appearance by Stoffel 🦡 youtube.com/watch?v=r3btvu…

Join our team in 2 weeks for ZK Hack Berlin!

If you want to try out the tools we discuss on the show, this is a great spot to start building with ZK. It's the 5th zk-focused hackathon produced by ZK Hack and has some amazing partners (and prizes!) lined up.

Check out Yi Sun ⨇'s presentation on OpenVM - a modular zkVM framework built on a no-CPU architecture which supports customizable VM extensions, RISC-V, and on-chain verification through continuations. youtube.com/watch?v=Q5yS-3…
