Technical Content
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

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

Aligned Core
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

Introduction Zero-knowledge and validity proofs have gained attention due to their capabilities in decentralized private computation, scaling blockchains, identity protocols, and verifiable machine learning, among others. They allow one party, the prover, to show to other parties, the verifiers, that a given statement is true in a time- and memory-efficient

Partnerships
We are thrilled to announce we are partnering up with Brevis, a smart Zero-Knowledge Coprocessor, as our first EigenLayer ecosystem partner. The goal is to allow Brevis to verify ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proof) directly on Aligned to lower the verification cost of co-processing requests while at the same time getting access
