1/ Verifiable inference enables proving the correct model was used and that inputs/outputs were not tampered with.
Why is this useful, who's working on it, and what does the future hold? Summary below 🧵

Pathfinder is a full node for @StarkWareLtd#Starknet written in Rust and we are making the codebase public as we near our milestone 1 release.
Check it out:
Today we are excited to present the alpha release of Pathfinder, a full node for #StarkNet written in Rust.
Pathfinder syncs Starknet state, verifies it against L1 and exposes an Ethereum-like RPC API.
#Ethereum scaling is here! 🔥🔥🔥
🥷 Some of the researcher team at Equilibrium has been hard at work delving into @MinaProtocol
We believe it is one of the few privacy-focused L1s that can actually enable zkApps today - not tomorrow
Stay tuned for more updates on our contributions! 🤖

What does privacy in blockchains entail and why are most still transparent today?
This comprehensive overview covers those questions and more, before diving deeper into @AleoHQ - one of the pioneers of programmable privacy 🔐

Will ZK Eat The Modular stack? 🥞
Late last year, we started asking ourselves this very question. We've summarised our findings in this report and also explained why we think it's a relevant question

Highlights in the thread 👇
We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with @StarkWareLtd to continue building out core infrastructure and tooling for #StarkNet long-term! 🔥
We are happy to announce our strategic partnership with @equilibrium_co 🎉
With the Pathfinder full node already operating, and more dev tools in the pipeline, our teams are committed to growing the #StarkNet ecosystem🚀
Announcing Starknet Pathfinder v0.8.1 🔥
Now powered by the Blockifier for even more Rust and a 10-40x performance boost to execution-related queries! 🚀
Today we are very excited announce a new project and associated grant from @protocollabs: A #Rust implementation of #IPFS.
Read about our development roadmap here:
Today, we are very excited to launch the Sprawl Network into alpha.
Sprawl is a peer-to-peer protocol and network for creating distributed marketplaces for absolutely anything.

The latest update for Pathfinder - our @Starknet full node implementation in Rust - targets state bloat.
Through a combination of different optimisation techniques, we've managed to achieve an 80% reduction in storage requirement for Pathfinder nodes (from 770 GB to 170 GB)!
1/ State of light clients in 2024💡
With a growing number of light client implementations, it can be difficult to stay up to date with the latest developments. We spent some time looking into the space and wanted to share our findings 👇
