✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 2nd - 8th September. We are thrilled to announce that, after months of hard work, our first product is almost ready to be launched on mainnet. 🎉 This product (Fast Mode) will provide a crucial proof verification
After months of hard work, our first product is almost ready to be launched on mainnet. We expect that this product (Fast Mode), will provide a crucial proof verification solution for many projects, greatly reducing their operational costs and go-to-market time. We have run three separate testnets to date, all
Polynomial commitment schemes (PCS) are at the core of proof systems. They determine key properties such as proof size, verification time, and whether the system is post-quantum secure. The Kate-Zaverucha-Goldberg (KZG) is a popular PCS, first appearing in 2010. Learn more: Polynomial commitment schemes allow us to commit to a
Plonk is one of the most widely used proof systems. It is at the core of the proof systems used by ZKsync, Mina, Halo2 (by Zcash), Plonky2 (Polygon), and Succinct Labs SP1’s compression proof, gnark, due to its versatility and efficient prover. Since it's introduction, the Plonk
Aligned is a ZK verification layer for Ethereum that makes Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof verification fast and cheap. We believe that verifiable computation is a necessary evolutionary step for the software that powers our world, and we are working to help Ethereum become the global open coordination network that will make
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 26th August - 1st September. We hosted a fantastic X Space with Versatus and Opacity Network about the stack for a decentralized future. 📢 The conversation was engaging, insightful, and definitely worth a listen! This Friday, we

Mina is a layer 1 (L1) blockchain that uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) to maintain its size at 22 kB. Its vibrant community and technology make it unique and developers and users from other ecosystems could benefit from their interaction with Mina. To this end, Aligned will support the technology needed
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 19th - 25th August. Alignoors! Last week we had our first Community Call and it was a huge success! ✅ We're thrilled that over 1000 users on Discord joined us. Huge thanks to our amazing

'Aligned by Numbers' highlights the performance of our proposal to accelerate the Ethereum’s roadmap by adoption of
Recently, Vitalik Buterin wrote on binary fields and their potential to generate zero-knowledge proofs. Binary fields are finite fields with characteristic equal to two. We can view them as polynomials whose coefficients can only take the values 0 and 1, so 1 + x^2 + x^6 are elements in some
