ZK-News - December 16th-22nd, '24

✨ ZK-Newsflash! ✨

Here are the highlights of what happened in the ZK space from December 16th to 22nd, '24.

Another big announcement from the Aligned Foundation: Rewarding the most loyal addresses from different ecosystems. 🚀

If you owned any of the tokens of Starknet, Mina, ZKsync, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, or EigenLayer at their lowest price you could have been eligible.

For this, nearly 1M addresses were selected, a true tsunami of tokens!

We sincerely thank everyone for their enthusiasm! The impact and possibilities of ZK technology are becoming more apparent every day.

SEND PROOFS.

Quantum Computing is coming: StarkWare shared an interesting article reminding us what it means for Starknet. 🐺

✅ The article describes the interesting properties of STARK proofs, given that they use post-quantum cryptographic assumptions.

✅ The importance of switching the hash function used from Pedersen to Poseidon.

✅ And much more.

Definitely a great article on an increasingly discussed topic.

Agglayer v0.2 testnet is now live! 🎉

Polygon Team shared the news and added that the mainnet launch is coming very soon.

Check out the repo as well as the quick roadmap update in the linked tweet. Exciting updates from a great team. Congrats!

Introducing OpenVM, by Axiom. ⚡

It's a performant and modular zkVM framework built for customization and extensibility.

OpenVM was designed in collaboration with Scroll and individual contributors.

ALIGNED 的代币经济学及发展路径

原文链接：https://blog.alignedlayer.com/aligned-align-tokenomics-and-roadmap/ Aligned诞生九个月后，证明验证层正式进入主网测试阶段，为各类项目和用户带来了经济高效的 zk-proof 验证。这标志着基于 zk 技术发展的新阶段正式开启。Aligned Foundation 推出了 $ALIGN 代币，用于加速 Aligned 的roadmap并助力实现其愿景。 Aligned专注于开发能够降低可验证计算成本和延迟的产品，同时利用zk技术提升区块链吞吐量。其首个证明验证层基于 EigenLayer 构建，通过主动验证服务（AVS）不仅显著降低了验证成本，还大幅提升了系统吞吐量。接下来，Aligned 将推出更多产品和应用，进一步压缩成本，降低ZKP技术的使用门槛，为更加注重验证和安全性的新一代应用奠定基础。 Aligned 的发展离不开zk和区块链技术人员的开创性贡献，以及各大社区的支持。随着 $ALIGN TGE的临近，基金会希望分享 $ALIGN的功能与代币经济模型，以此来激励zk和区块链技术的研究、开发
