We’re working together to give devs the best tools to create the future of internet and crypto.

✅ Let’s continue with the Spaces and Podcasts offered this month.

🔹 Space with NodeKit and Union.

It was an amazing X Space with our partners, where we discussed the interoperability problem in crypto and how ZK can help solve it.

🔹 Space with Versatus and Opacity Network.

We hosted a fantastic Space today about The Stack for a Decentralized Future.

It was a really interesting conversation that we highly recommend listening to!

🔹 Space with Phala Network and Ternoa.

Listen to it and deep dive into real-world use cases of TEEs.

Spoiler: The special guest was Diego Kingston. 😉

🔹 Our co-founder and Head of Research Diego Kingston was on The Rollup!

It presents a fascinating discussion about ZKVMs and Proof Verification.

Watch the stream below to learn more about these exciting topics.

🔹 We’re pleased that over 1000 users on Discord joined us in our first Community Call! 🎉

It was a huge success!

Thank you to everyone who joined. We're happy to have connected with so many of you and answered your questions.

✅ Let’s review the highlights of the events.

🔹 As part of our activities at @crecimientoar, our co-founder and Head of Research Diego Kingston gave a talk about 'Intro and current state of ZK with Aligned'.

🔹 ZK Hack Montreal was incredible!

The event took place from August 9th to 11th.

We are very happy to have met a lot of Aligned attendees in Montreal.

ZK is becoming mainstream. 👀

✅ Clips taken from podcasts.

🔹 How many proofs we can verify?

In this clip, our co-founder Mauro Toscano responds.

Aligned is extending the capabilities of Ethereum. ✨

🔹 What problems does Aligned solve?

Ethereum wasn’t designed for verification of ZK proofs.

We are building this new infrastructure to solve this problem, allowing us to verify a lot of proofs in a very efficient way, and unlocking a wide range of use cases.

🔹 How Aligned is redefining proof verification?

No blocks, no chain.

Our co-founders Mauro Toscano and Roberto Catalán explained to us why Aligned doesn’t need to have blocks to verify proofs.

✅ Let’s explore some of the technical content.

🔹 What does a ZK Verification Layer do?

• This post will help you better understand the mission of Aligned.

• And why a ZK verification layer is needed.

🔹 The guide you’ve been waiting for.

How to integrate Aligned into your application.

Follow these simple three steps to achieve it:

• Generate your ZK Proof.

• Write your smart contract.

• And submit and verify the proof to Aligned.
