Besu started at Devcon in 2018 under the name Pantheon.

Eight years later, the Consensys teams behind @Besu_eth and @Teku_Consensys are back at Devcon, this time in Mumbai.

Whether you’re already running an institutional Besu ledger or looking to build one, run a node, build on come find us this week. @EFDevcon @mkriak

Behind Besu's busiest month ever: 90.6K lines of code added, +90% of them by Consensys engineers. More than half went into Snap/2 sync, EVM v2 and the Amsterdam upgrade!

Several of those engineers are at Devcon in Mumbai this week.

Come say hi 👋
October was huge for Besu - we broke a few records!

There's a lot of interoperability paths - some weaker than others - but none that enable you to keep your own ledger and settle without bridges. Excited to continue to build and discuss with our partners during DAS in London next week. @blockworksDAS @Consensys
Introducing Sovereign Network Interoperability by Consensys.

State-of-the-art interoperability that enables institutions to do business freely, settling securities, exchanging currencies and posting collateral across ledgers, without bridges or moving assets onto a shared ledger.

Until today, institutions faced a binary choice between public and private blockchains. It wasn't really a choice, because risk and controls said you couldn't have privacy on public networks. Now you can. Great for Institutions for seamless connectivity to each other and @LineaBuild and @ethereum lnkd.in/p/d3bagt8r

At the heart of it is CLIP, our Cross Ledger Interoperability Protocol, built on a decade of Consensys experience and using zero-knowledge proofs to verify cross-ledger execution.

Institutions have spent years building their ledgers. We've built the technology to make them work together.

Our CEO @mkriak and Rob Dawson are speaking at the @lfdecentralized booth at Devcon.

Institutional interoperability with CLIP. Institutions keep their own ledgers and settle across them in one atomic transaction.

New paper from our cryptographer @YoussefElHousn3 and co-authors: a faster way to run one of elliptic-curve cryptography’s quiet safety checks.

It’s already in @gnark_team (gnark-crypto), our open-source library running in @Besu_eth, @LineaBuild, @go_ethereum, and gnark-based abs and @Lighter_xyz.
