Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space last week, 9th - 15th September.

Alignoors, we're excited to share our Roadmap for Q3-Q4 with you! 🚀

✅ Fast mode.

✅ Aggregation mode.

✅ And many more.

After months of hard work, our first product is almost ready to be launched on mainnet.

All the details are in the linked tweet.

o1Labs shared an interesting article about Mina’s proof system, (Re)introducing Kimchi. 💜

Learn about the proof system that powers Mina’s succinct blockchain and delve into its technical details.

A fantastic read.

The first RISC Zero proof has officially been verified on Starknet Sepolia! ✅

This marks a big milestone in giving Starknet devs more flexibility in how they build.

Congratulations to RISC Zero and Starknet!

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.

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!

Succinct Labs introduced OP Succinct.

Upgrade any OP Stack chain to use ZKPs in just 1 hour with SP1.

With OP Succinct, you get:

✅ Fast finality.

✅ Cost-effective proving.

✅ Excellent dev experience.

✅ And more.

In a pretty interesting post on EthResear.ch, Youssef El Housni presented Fake GLV.

A method allowing for efficient scalar multiplication on elliptic curves without needing an efficient endomorphism. 🤯
