✨ 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
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 12th - 18th August. Alignors, check out our latest stats! 🎉 ✅ Partnerships. ✅ Operators. ✅ Verified batches. ✅ Verified proofs. '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
Aligned is designed to verify any proof system efficiently and for a fraction of the cost in Ethereum. Kimchi is the proof system at the heart of Mina. Do you want to know what makes Kimchi special? Mina is a succinct blockchain. It generates proofs for each block, allowing any
The future of crypto is increasingly multi-chain. Blockchains are a powerful new platform for developers to build decentralized and trustless applications, but their properties place limits on scalability. To address this, we have seen an explosion in the number of blockchains, which has increased the global supply of blockspace and
Aligned is a ZK verification layer for Ethereum. But what does a ZK verification layer do? Why is it needed? Read on to find out! Ethereum is achieving scalability through a rollup-centric roadmap. There are two types of rollups: optimistic and ZK. Basically, we move execution to rollups, which inherit
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 5th - 11th August. ZK Hack Montreal was a huge success! 🎉 The event took place from August 9th to 11th. We are very happy to have met a lot of Aligned attendees in Montreal. ZK is
Aligned is designed to verify every proof system. Groth16 was one of the first efficient proof systems. It's used by projects like Zcash, Worldcoin, RISC Zero, and SP1 by Succinct Labs. At the core of Groth16 lie pairing-friendly elliptic curves, such as BN254 and BLS12-381. These curves allow
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 29th July - 4th August. We posted a recap of our highlights for July. ✅ New partnerships, X spaces, podcasts, events, and original technical content. If you only read one thread today - make it this one!
The past month has been full of exciting updates. 🎉 Check out this thread for a recap of the highlights! ✅ New partnerships. ✅ Multiple spaces and podcasts. ✅ Our participation in various events. ✅ And technical material. Enjoy! ✅ Let's start with our new partnerships: Aligned Partnerships Recap: 018 -> Nodekit. This
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨ Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 22nd - 28th July. Interested in TEEs and ZK? We co-hosted this Space with Automata Network to discuss the topic in more detail. 🎉 Speakers from: ✅ Ten Protocol. ✅ Phala Network. ✅ Gwyneth. ✅ Vanishree Rao. ✅ And more. If you
We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between 3Ml Labs and Aligned! This collaboration aims to introduce innovative solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in zero-knowledge (ZK) technology and cryptography. 3Ml Labs, renowned for its cutting-edge research in cryptography, will join forces with Aligned to accelerate the
