ZK-News - 15th-21st July '24
✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨
Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 15th - 21st July.
First of all, let's recap our participation at EthCC. 🥳
✅ Here you'll find some highlights of our co-founders, Diego Kingston and Mauro Toscano.
✅ What happened at Lambda Hack Week 2.
✅ And more!
It was great to meet so many Alignoors in Brussels.
Proof of Alignment at @EthCC! ✅

It was great to meet you all, we'll see you at @EFDevcon! 🗺️ pic.twitter.com/QFamzOjJev
One of the biggest milestones of the year. 🥁
StarkWare announced that for the First Time in History, a ZK Proof has been verified on Bitcoin Signet!
This is absolutely enormous! Bitcoin and ZK are getting closer.
Congrats to StarkWare, Weikeng Chen and L2 Iterative Ventures.

Do you want to know the State of the Mina Ecosystem? 💜
✅ Where is the protocol today?
✅ What can be built on it?
✅ Where is it going?
This material answers all of these questions and more.
See how 'Proof of Everything' is impacting the world.
Mina is now a programmable ZK blockchain.

Ladies and gentlemen, Polygon announced that Plonky3, the Next Generation of ZK Proving Systems, is Production Ready! 🎉
It's a flexible ZK proving system for building use-case specific virtual machines.
Congrats to the Polygon team on this amazing milestone.
the next-gen zk proving system has landed—Polygon Plonky3 is production ready and open-source.
— Polygon | Aggregated (@0xPolygon) July 16, 2024
already powering @SuccinctLabs’ SP1 zkVM, Polygon Plonky3 provides super-performant zk-proving, while SP1 abstracts away the complexity for devs.

Modular Summit shared this interesting video of Alex Gluchowski, CEO of Matter Labs, explaining the Elastic Chain. ⛓️
It is an ever-expanding network of ZK rollups, secured by math and natively interoperable under a uniform, intuitive UX.

Another ZK Podcast is out! 📢
In this episode, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra chat with Hart Lambur from Across, a cross-chain interoperability solution.
They discuss how Across is constructed, how it compares to other interop solutions, and more.
🎙️This week @AnnaRRose + @tarunchitra meet with @hal2001 irl at EthCC week! They explore the Across bridge and how it compares to other interop systems. Then, shifting gears, they share observations on the week in Brussels (with a few drinks 🥂) https://t.co/oLsUQDenn1

Irreducible posted a major update to FRI-Binius! 🔎
It yields better batching, faster recursion, and smaller proofs.
It's very exciting to see the progress in this area of research and to witness talented teams working to build a very promising future in the ZK space.
The Irreducible team discovered a new cryptographic technique that brings better batching, faster recursion, and smaller proofs to Binius!
