Introducing Valida Rust Alpha Compiler, by Lita. 💻
This leverages the power of LLVM to bridge the gap between Rust and the Valida zkVM.
Developers can now write some Rust code and have it run on Valida.
Read the full announcement to see the list of examples tested, which included: Fibonacci, Conway’s Game of Life, and more!
Congrats to the Lita team.

A great new paper is now out! ARC: Accumulation for Reed–Solomon Codes. 🎉
The work is presented by:
✅ Benedik Bünz.
✅ William Wang.
The co-authors constructed two hash-based accumulation/folding schemes.
It's impressive to see this kind of progress and development.
Great work. Congratulations!
I'm excited to share our new paper: https://t.co/I5XwkOAYuz

We construct two hash-based accumulation/folding schemes. These achieve smaller recursion overheads than any previous hash-based approach, and support unbounded steps.

Buenos Aires is leading the way to future mass adoption of blockchain and ZK technologies by leveraging them for digital identity management. ⚡
This comes as a result of the announced integration of QuarkID, a ZKsync-powered decentralized identity solution.
This is a very interesting initiative and definitely a game changer for managing citizen data.
Buenos Aires is the first city to issue decentralized IDs to its citizens!

By integrating @Quark_ID into the miBA platform, over 3.6M Buenos Aires citizens now have control over their documents via blockchain and ZK proofs, with Era serving as the settlement layer.… pic.twitter.com/QS4lhvjpE8
