Introducing Valida Rust Alpha Compiler, by Lita. π»
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, Conwayβs Game of Life, and more!
Congrats to the Lita team.
A great new paper is now out! ARC: Accumulation for ReedβSolomon Codes. π
The work is presented by:

It's impressive to see this kind of progress and development.
Great work. Congratulations!
Buenos Aires is leading the way to future mass adoption of blockchain and ZK technologies by leveraging them for digital identity management. β‘
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.
