Aligned Engineering Updates - June 23rd - 27th, 2025
This week, the majority of the engineering team's efforts were dedicated to preparing for the release of a new version of Aligned, v0.17.0. Key tasks included updating the version of RISC Zero and integrating Circom into our supported verifiers. These changes have already been merged into the Testnet branch, along with the updated version of the documentation.
Additionally, we completed the Beast ZK game integration, a fork of Beast, a minimalist tile puzzle game originally developed by Dominik Wilkowski. Our version introduces an experimental integration of zero-knowledge proofs using the RISC Zero zkVM to demonstrate privacy-preserving proof-of-completion for games.
