On top of being a post quantum poly commitment scheme with high verification speeds, I was surprised by how gas efficient WHIR can be! We compiled results in an eth research post with Giacomo Fenzi (and the verifier is MIT licensed) ethresear.ch/t/on-the-gas-e…

I'm co-organising a Community Privacy Residency in Taipei next Feb: focused on researching, co-designing & prototyping apps for community privacy. We invite community builders, designers, researchers, & advocates for digital safety and privacy to join us community-privacy.github.io

The ZK Hub technical workshop 'Proving scalar multiplications in SNARKs' by Youssef El Housni, Cryptographer at Consensys.eth and core developer of Linea.eth, is now available on the House of ZK YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=D50Ldw…

Excited to host another round of ZK Dive next Sunday the 2nd in NYC 🚀🚀🚀 Join experts in Zero-Knowledge Proof Cryptography with speakers including David Wong devloper and Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh ⭕

Another step towards Linea.eth switching to small fields—Vortex, our polynomial commitment scheme, uses a hash function based on SWIFFT (+Ring-SIS). Optimized AVX512 code github.com/Consensys/gnar… lets us hit Blake-level throughput (1750Mb/s)! 🚀

🔥

Linea.eth and gnark is puzzling! We're really close to migrating to small field arithmetic as Gautam Botrel just pushed super-fast hash function using AVX512 assembly which we use for PCS. A lot more other updates soon. Real-time block proving is not impossible 🚀

Linea.eth's zkevm is the most rewarding project I've ever been involved with, hands down. We started the arithmetization late 2021 ... it's been 3 years 😄 Can't wait to see what the next 3 hold in store 🔥 github.com/Consensys/line…

Introducing ZKNox - a new venture by cryptography, hardware and security experts Nicolas Bacca, @renauddubois10 and @simonmasson2. We plan to accelerate on growing the crypto ecosystem, with a strong focus on defensive technlogies and decentralization.

Lisa Akselrod 🪿 Berlin (11-22 June) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone was pretty good.

The second Levchin Prize goes to the CADO-NFS team: Emmanuel Thomé, Pierrick Gaudry, and Paul Zimmerman! Congratulations! #realworldcrypto
