Ingonyama introduced zkDL++, a novel framework designed for provable AI. 🎉
It improves the watermarking system developed by AI at Meta, solving the problem of needing to keep watermark extractors private to avoid attacks.
ZK is spreading everywhere.
🔐 Introducing zkDL++

Herodotus posted an article about how Storage Proofs enable cross-chain governance with Snapshot X, the new onchain voting protocol from Snapshot.
It explores:
✅ What Storage Proofs are.
✅ How they work within Snapshot X.
✅ And why they’re a game-changer for DAOs.

Fabric Cryptography and Polygon Labs are collaborating to accelerate the AggLayer. ⚡️
The collaboration focuses on developing real-time ZK proofs for the AggLayer with Fabric’s Verifiable Processing Units (VPUs).
Very interesting initiative!
Processor breakthroughs have leveled up every industry – it’s time for web3 to have its own.

Another amazing ZK Podcast is now available! 📢
In this episode, Anna Rose and Tarun Chitra chat with Andrew Miller.
The conversation covered a range of interesting topics: consensus, ZK, MPC, and of course, TEEs.
🎙️This week @AnnaRRose + @tarunchitra chat with @socrates1024. They discuss his early works on consensus, ZK and MPC before covering the topic of his current work: TEEs or Trusted Execution Environments
