🎙️This week Anna Rose & Tarun Chitra talk with Miranda Christ about emerging AI watermarking techniques. They discuss different strategies used to identify & detect AI generated content + how many of these parallel the techniques commonly used in ZK! zeroknowledge.fm/podcast/371/

Mark Tyneway 🔴 vitalik.eth Automata Network taiko already has two TEEs running reth and geth on a 2/4 multiproof system with sp1 and r0. you can find some info here l2beat.com/scaling/projec…

How to build private smart contracts via : - zkSNARK: State is commitments, a single prover computes on plaintext and posts a zkSNARK, no global decryption or access control. - coSNARK: State is commitments, computation is off-chain via MPC so no single server sees the full

got the idea to write this while watching the Jigsaw talk at SBC (eprint.iacr.org/2025/1147.pdf) which a coSNARK-based approach to private smart contracts.

putting zec on da map

went to a creator party last night and polled everyone on why they don't want to do crypto: so simple it's obvious: they don't want their audiences (their ONLY asset) to get rugged worst case with products is bad experience worst case with coins is losing money

This was one of my favorite ZK pods to record — Miranda Christ is a really amazing interdisciplinary cryptography researcher and if you want to understand how ZK and AI watermarks are related, you have to listen to this

since when did we start calling a private key in a TEE non-custody? man

News from #aarhuskrypto! Welcome to Mark Simkin who joins the group as an assistant professor, Valerio Coletti as a PhD student, and congrats to our previous postdoc Hiraku Morita who is now an assistant professor at SDU. aarhuskrypto.dk

Umm what is this new chart crime?

This is the most important improvement in practical privacy in the history of the Zcash project. The Electric Coin Co team are superstars. (Caveat: I don’t think Tor is secure enough and I want the world to upgrade to a mixnet, but this is a huge improvement from before.)

We need more 200-lines examples of building an agent loop with tools using the primitive APIs. We need to demystify agent implementations. We don’t need another agentic framework.

As promised! Here is the episode #9 of the Alice & Bob Podcast! mario.report/portfolio/2025… Next week It will be Episode #10 and last! Stay tuned, there will be a surprise!

As the Lone Ranger and his sidekick left the tepee, he turned and said "Tonto, we're not in canvas anymore."
