This is big news. TEE for CPU and GPU have arrived! Nvidia Confidential Computing has open-sourced its SDK library. This can imply many things, including outsourced ZKP proof generation with circuit and data privacy... with GPU acceleration on H100.

- Exciting @DzkLabs update! We've joined the @efabless shuttle program, taping out 'Thumbelina'. This chip packs area-efficient BLS12-377 units for #ZKP, focusing on #AleoMining. Notably, our modular multiplication unit claims just 0.6 mm^2 in a 130nm process.🎯 1/5
- Reproduced -- M3 Max is even faster: 1,286,596 hashes per second, compared with Eli's M3 Pro laptop.Our new prover Stwo just blew our mind 🔥 Here's a demo by @PapiniShahar and @EliBenSasson of our next-gen prover, Stwo, and its groundbreaking performance: proving 620,000 hashes per second using an M3 laptop! This is x1000 better than our current prover, Stone, and is the
00:00 - You may get cats for writing Bitcoin scripts or contributing to Bitcoin!BREAKING: BITCOIN RESEARCHER GIFTED A QUANTUM CAT FOR BREAKTHROUGH IN OP_CAT DEVELOPMENT gmeow! @weikengchen, a researcher focused on ZK tech from L2 Iterative Ventures, released his working prototype of an OP_CAT-powered STARK verifier on the bitcoin signet! this means that
- "Electron Labs' bridge between NEAR and Ethereum is vulnerable. Zk circuits used for the NEAR light client are incomplete and severely under-constrained. It is possible to create valid proofs for invalid set of signatures. User funds are at risk!" @NEARProtocol? @labs_electron?This tweet is a public disclosure for a vulnerability in a recently launched/about to launch blockchain bridge. Below gist has been encrypted with timevault.drand.love and can be decrypted in 10 days, on 17/06/2023. The team has been aware of vuln for a while and decided
- To save the BTC price, I think we should enable OP_CAT.
- Thanks to @TaprootWizards! This transaction finally gets out of the mempool after a few hours since many signet nodes haven't realized OP_CAT is activated :) For a full walkthrough, check outOP_CAT transactions on Signet 👀 mempool.space/signet/tx/b01a…
