Under the hood: polyring multiplication checks, batched and verified once with SZ, plus highly efficient Fiat Shamir for Groth16 and Plonk.

The technique generalizes to settings with repeated operations over the same polyring, like proofs for lattice-based crypto.

1/ Today we're releasing Lattice Jolt: a post-quantum version of the Jolt zkVM, built on lattices instead of elliptic curves. It's _faster_ than curve-based Jolt and has the shortest proofs of any post-quantum zkVM — under 100 KB.

Some people just want anonymity 🥷

@shrameetweets is using @Starknet to develop @_mistcash, a privacy layer to protect people's KYCs from suffering a Cambridge Analytica level leak, something he believes is a ticking time bomb waiting to happen with current chains.

If you think you really need LegoSNARK/cc-SNARK/ccGro16.

Maybe you don't 🙃

Comparing WASM/WebGPU proving backends for 53k circuits in Groth16.

• @ikubjas' wnark WebGPU + Gnark → 896 ms 🔥 🥵
• snarkjs → 1196 ms
• @gnark_team → 5560 ms
• @arkworks_rs → 5610 ms

Single threaded @golang wasm matches @rustlang wasm.

Two years ago we wrote GnarCairo: @gnark_team circuits ➡️ @CairoLang code at @ohayo_dojo Residency.
This year we got deep into GnarSol for @solidity_lang. a little too deep...
