Alignors, check out our latest stats! 🎉

✅ Partnerships.

✅ Operators.

✅ Verified batches.

✅ Verified proofs.

'Aligned by Numbers' highlights the performance of our proposal to accelerate the Ethereum’s roadmap by adoption of verifiable computation.

Discover the Mina Mindset in this article. 💜

🔹 What are the differences between building on the EVM and Mina?

🔹 What is Mina's approach to providing a powerful ZK tool for applications?

Read on to better understand the ‘Proof of Everything.’

StarkWare shared an amazing video from Eli Ben-Sasson at the Bitcoin 2013 conference in San Jose.

At that time, Eli already suggested using universal (Turing Complete) cryptographic proof systems, like zkSNARKs and PCPs, in the Bitcoin setting.

Very valuable material.

Union is now open source! 🖥️

You can explore all aspects of Union and suggest changes.

Congratulations to @union_build for this great step, which encourages transparency and collaboration.

Cronos zkEVM launches its Mainnet. ✅

It is an L2 blockchain on top of Ethereum, powered by ZKsync technology.

Congratulations to all the teams involved in this work.

This marks a significant leap forward for the Elastic Chain. 🎉

Aztec Devnet is now live! 💻

This is the culmination of a seven-year journey of hard work and iterative development.

A massive milestone for Aztec and the Ethereum community.

Polyhedra is spreading ZK to everywhere, applying it to Web2 and TradFi sectors. 🚀

The potential applications of this technology extend to areas like healthcare, education, and many others.

This would improve their security, privacy, and efficiency.

A fantastic ZK Podcast featuring Anna Rose in conversation with Jens Groth and Daniel Marin from Nexus is now available! 📢

It dives into a variety of topics, such as formal verification, IVC, Nexus architecture, and much more!

Listen to it here.

An interesting article about a GKR-based approach to unsigned integer multiplication was posted by the Irreducible team. 🤯
