We’re excited to announce our participation in Bain Capital Crypto’s Whiteboards series! In this episode we jump into the fascinating world of Multi-Party Computation (MPC). zksecurity.xyz/blog/posts/mpc/

This week, we are writing about what we have achieved in Solarkraft: a runtime monitoring tool for Soroban, powered by TLA+ and Apalache. Read Part 1 and stay tuned for the upcoming parts! protocols-made-fun.com/solarkraft/202… #tlaplus Apalache: symbolic model checker for TLA⁺

Super excited to share the first part of our joint work on the specification and model checking of a consensus protocol with [email protected] | (spec|ver)ification | security ! Check it out here - protocols-made-fun.com/consensus/matt…

have a nice read!

We touched on the challenges of going from consensus protocol papers to consensus protocol implementations, joint work with Denis Kolegov and Ivan Mikushin

BFT consensus protocols in practice, joint work with Denis Kolegov and Ivan Mikushin !

To further enhance confidence in ZKsync governance (as announced ALEX | ZKsync ∎ here: x.com/gluk64/status/…), we've formalized its protocol in Quint and checked a number of invariants with random simulation and symbolic model checking. Details: protocols-made-fun.com/zksync/matterl…

🔐 Specification and Model-checking of the ZKsync Governance Protocol Join [email protected] | (spec|ver)ification | security, independent security & formal methods researcher, as he dives into the security architecture behind the ZKsync Governance Protocol. In this talk, Igor will discuss how formal specifications

First audit report by Matter Labs (∎, ∆) 🥳 Our goal is to help decentralized applications built on ZKsync. If you need an audit, contact [email protected] 🫡

I watched this masterpiece again last night and enjoyed it even more this time around. @StephenGraham73, in my opinion, is the best actor of my generation. Just take a look at all his roles if you don't believe me.

Igor Konnov - 🎙️ Live now! [email protected] | (spec|ver)ification | security presents a joint effort with Matter Labs (∎, ∆) to formally verify ZKsync’s Governance Protocol. Using Quint language, they model key elements to secure multi-sig ops, protocol freezes, and more. youtube.com/watch?v=dMp6jJ…

It was such a pleasure to present our research team's work at the Columbia CryptoEconomics Workshop earlier this month! Many thanks to the organisers 🥰 We discussed key challenges in x-rollup communication and shared Scroll's Interop Gadget design. Video and slides 👇

If you are tired of staring at the red charts, here is my blog post on the evergreen topic: The value of model checking in distributed protocols design. protocols-made-fun.com/modelchecking/…

We're proud to support commonware as their primary security and validator infrastructure partner—helping design and review the foundational components of their modular primitives, and ensuring the Commonware Library is (and stays) production-ready.

[BONUS] Shoutout to Denis Kolegov for opening a few PRs to improve the draft specification hosted on the commonware monorepo: github.com/commonwarexyz/…

Over the last few weeks, Denis Kolegov (and the team at asymmetric research) translated Minimmit into an executable specification (written in Quint). Why? We can now automate the search for Minimmit unsoundness against the Apalache Symbolic Model Checker 🤖.
