Accelerating Ethereum's roadmap by making ZK proof verification fast, cheap, and scalable.
$ALIGN
We announced the mainnet beta of our Proof Verification Layer two weeks ago, after nearly 9 months of hard work that included its conceptualization, design, proof of concept, testnets, and extensive security audits. This was only made possible with the support of the community and all the developers, engineers, and
Aligned Core
After 9 months of development we are happy to announce that Aligned's ZK verification layer is now in beta on Ethereum mainnet. This means that developers can now verify ZK proofs on Ethereum for less than 10% of the cost and that they can submit thousands of proofs
Hackathons
We’re thrilled to officially announce the winners of the Aligned Builders Hackathon! The incredible talent and dedication of all participants made this an event to remember, showcasing the potential unlocked by ZKPs and blockchain technologies through the power of new zkVMs, overcoming bottlenecks with fast and cost-efficient verification using

Cryptographic Hash Functions (CHF) are fundamental to securing the digital world. From protecting passwords to enabling blockchain and zero-knowledge (ZK) systems, CHFs play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity, security, and privacy of data. This blog is the first in a series where we’ll explore the world of
Technical content
The development and use of integrity/zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs has accelerated over the past few years. The introduction of general purpose ZK virtual machines, which allow us to write and prove Rust code, has made developing verifiable applications easier and faster. We have blockchains like Mina that prove every block
Hackathons
What an incredible journey it’s been! The first Aligned Builders Hackathon has officially come to a close, and we’re beyond impressed by the talent and commitment from all our participants. From experienced developers to first-timers diving into ZK proofs and Rust, every team brought something unique to the
Hackathons
The inaugural Aligned Builders Hackathon is in its closing stretch, with over 250 hackers actively collaborating and innovating within our community. Over the last four weeks we have watched these projects come together and we’re eager to see what our participants will deliver. This hackathon is the first phase
