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
Welcome to the Aligned EigenLayer testnet. This launch represents a huge step forward for our project and for the adoption of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs. We invite you to participate in our decentralised network, and join us in working towards our goal of accelerating the Ethereum roadmap. By participating in this
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
Aligned is pleased to announce a $20M fundraise led by Hack VC, with support from DAO5, L2Iterative, NomadCapital_io, FinalityCap, Symbolic VC, Theta Capital, J17, EVG Ventures, Decima fund, Protagonist, and other strategic partners and angels. We want to specially thank Alex Pack, Ed Roman, and Rodney from Hack VC
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
Authors: Roberto Catalán and Federico Carrone Bridges are generally insecure and economically inefficient. They exhibit an asymmetry between users and bridge operators, where users can easily lose funds. We propose a bridge design that is simple, modular, and utilizes multi-storage proofs and the native messaging system between Ethereum and Layer
