ZK-News - 17th-23th June '24
✨ 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.
Aligned's third testnet is live! ✅
— Aligned (@alignedlayer) June 17, 2024
This is our first open testnet with third party operators.
We invite you to test our system and start aligning your proofs.
We thank @eigenlayer for their support.

Great paper from Ingonyama: ICICLE v2. 📒
It offers a framework to implement ZKPs in a very intuitive way.
And it also leverages its polynomial API to abstract away low-level hardware primitives and automate their memory management.
📣New paper 📣

Brevis announced that they are partnering with 0G Labs to bring highly secure cross-chain DA to 0G, powered by ZK proofs. ⛓️
This is important as some solutions rely on centralized bridges, prone to corruption.
🔗 Brevis is helping to revolutionizing #Web3 data security!
— Brevis (@brevis_zk) June 17, 2024
🌐🔒We're working with @0G_labs to enable trust-free, cross-chain DA using #ZK proofs. Goodbye centralized bridge vulnerabilities—Hello secure, decentralized data sharing!

Ternoa launched zkEVM+ Testnet, a security and privacy-centric L2 built with Polygon CDK. ✅
This full EVM-equivalent infrastructure brings censorship resistance via integrity proofs to secure digital assets on Ethereum.
As Ethereum keeps scaling, trust assumptions weighing on digital assets holders matter
