Wrote up a piece about the emergence of ZK coprocessors like Axiom and how they might be the missing piece for building rich experiences akin to web2 with the security properties of web3 🎡 mirror.xyz/camiinthisthan…

😮

new look who dis?

With Axiom V2, we want to empower smart contracts to go beyond their limits with additional data access and compute - without disrupting the normal dev flow. Try it out today and let us know what you think!

This was very cool to see being built. Some serious math went into optimizing the circuits!

We have released our seminar with Yi Sun ⨇ from Axiom on: ⏵ Exploring Ethereum History using ZK ⏴ Yi highlights how to cache Ethereum block hashes back to genesis in a Merkle mountain range on-chain and verify proofs against this cache and much more! (Video Below)

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!

Excited to share the universal batch verification solution for World ID we’ve been working on for World. Batch verification allows multiple World ID operations to be done in a single cheaper transaction, reducing onchain congestion and cost.

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.

Look what just breezed through the doors of the Cantina—an OpenVM code review competition presented by Axiom 🪐 OpenVM is a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility. 💰 $100,000 📆 Live now - March 10 🔗 Below

The first competitive security review for OpenVM is now live on Cantina 🪐. Compete for the $100,000 prize pool until March 10 by reviewing the ZK circuits, VM framework, and Rust toolchain for OpenVM.

OpenVM: Modular ZK, Maximum Flexibility The latest SNARK CHOCOLATE pod just dropped! 🍫 Heads up! This is a technical conversation with Yi Sun (Yi Sun ⨇) and Jonathan Wang (Jonathan Wang ⨇), co-founders of AXIOM (Axiom), exploring OpenVM (OpenVM) and its impact on ZK

Great thread explaining how OpenVM's memory architecture works at the STARK level!

Last week, Scroll Sepolia underwent its biggest upgrade yet, transitioning from Halo2 to a zkVM. I want to take a moment to highlight the broader benefits of zkVM for the entire technical community. Until now, deploying a custom zkRollup has been nearly impossible for small

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.

powdr did some really interesting work! they worked directly with the OpenVM ISA to auto-optimize code -> circuits. really excited to see how this can further accelerate guest programs

Security advisory -- OpenVM v1.1.2 and earlier are affected by a vulnerability in Plonky3: github.com/Plonky3/Plonky… github.com/openvm-org/ope… The new OpenVM v1.2.0 release has been upgraded to reflect a patched version of Plonky3, and all known live deployments have been updated.
