✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 1st - 7th July. We’re thrilled to have announced our partnership with Mina! ✅ Aligned will help Mina verify Ethereum proofs more efficiently, making the ‘Proof of Everything’ more accessible. This is a big step forward
In recent months, we have witnessed the development and enhancement of general proving virtual machines such as Risc0, Valida, Jolt, and SP1. These innovations allow users to write ordinary code in languages like Rust or C and generate proofs demonstrating the integrity of computations. This evolution is poised to transform
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 24th - 30th June. We are excited to announce our Aligned Bounty Program at Lambda Hack Week 2. ✨ The second Lambda Hack Week is almost here, and we are offering a prize pool for projects building
Elliptic curve pairings play an important role in Ethereum’s Proof of Stake and in proof systems such as Groth16 and Plonk. They allow us to perform some sort of encrypted multiplication, crucial to aggregatable signatures and some polynomial commitment schemes. However, pairings seem shrouded in mystery and complexity.

The second Lambda Hack Week is nearly here, and we are offering a prize pool for projects building on top of Aligned. Only a few spots remaining! Click here to register! 📆 July 6th to 9th 2024📍 Brussels. Our bounties will be awarded to projects that build innovative technology using Aligned
The Sumcheck protocol is an efficient tool to develop succinct arguments. It is relied upon by many proof systems, such as Lasso/Jolt by a16z crypto, HyperPlonk, Binius, Spartan, and GKR. Sumcheck was first proposed by Lund, Fortnow, Karloff, & Nisan in 1992. The sumcheck protocol is an interactive protocol
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 17th - 23th June. Aligned Testnet 3 : Our first EigenLayer AVS opened to external operators. ✅ This week was huge for Aligned. A very significant milestone in our journey towards mass adoption of ZK proofs on Ethereum.
We are excited to announce the launch of our third testnet, marking a significant advancement in the adoption of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs on Ethereum. This is our first public testnet open to third party operators for our EigenLayer AVS. We invite you to work with us towards our goal of
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 10th - 16th June. Our Co-founder and Head of Research, Diego Kingston, gave a fascinating talk on hash-based proof systems at ZuBerlin. 📒 The talk delved into various aspects, including proof sizes, the benefit of not requiring
SNARKs have gained considerable attention recently due to their broad utility in areas such as blockchain scalability, identity mechanisms, verifiable machine learning, and fighting against misinformation and fake news. We see new developments daily, but SNARKS have been around for a long time. SNARKs allow one party, the prover, to
Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 3rd - 9th June. Gevulot Network & Aligned hosted an space about our partnership 🟩 Participants included: ✅ Teemupai, CEO and Co-founder of Gevulot. ✅ Roberto Catalán, Co-founder of Aligned. ✅ and Diego Kingston, Co-founder and Head of Research of Aligned.
We live in an era where we can no longer trust what we read, see, or even hear. Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have accelerated the production of illusory content. Fake news and alternative facts are displayed in all formats, for any purpose, from personal vanity to political propaganda. At
