🚀 Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce the first crate release of Arecibo, our incubation fork of Nova. This release marks a significant milestone, completing the full SuperNova protocol integration. Check out the details! #zkproof #nova #supernova blog.lurk-lang.org/posts/arecibo-…

OH: Privacy is like ketchup

I frequently build, both simple and complex, ZKPs--
Without too much hassle

...Here is how you can use Noir to do so as well

...How to easily compile from a Noir program to a Solidity contract(!)

We’re building the next-generation blockchain, with scalability and encryption at its core.

This is only possible when you keep pushing ZK to the limit.

You’ve heard of zero-knowledge proofs.

You’ve heard of SNARKs and PLONK and zkRollups.

But you haven't gotten started, because you don’t have a spare brain dedicated to learning cryptography.

That all changes today.

Introducing Noir, the universal language of zero knowledge.

Just over 1 month to go until our team heads to Colombia for ETHBogota and Deva the Devcon Unicorn.

Catch Mike Connor and Adrian Hamelink at Deva the Devcon Unicorn giving talks on private smart contracts and batching techniques for SNARKs.

Had a great time talking about custom gates in PlonK with Brendan Farmer in this ZK Whiteboard session. Watch the video below!

Aztec Connect is live on mainnet!

Private DeFi comes to Ethereum for the first time ever, enabled by Aztec's private zkRollup:

Very happy with this result. In this paper, I looked at threshold Schnorr signatures, Elgamal encryption, polynomial commitments, etc., and then generalized them all under a new notion of what I call 'group reconstruction circuits'. 1/
