Governance in DAOs can break down when people aren't comfortable publicly voicing their honest opinions.
Today we're launching @HeyAnoun, a tool that lets nouners give feedback on @nounsdao proposals pseudonymously using zk proofs
⌐◨-◨
1/n
introducing nouns.nymz.xyz
persistent pseudonyms for nouners to communicate from
and what we believe is a precursor to the future of naming on Ethereum (and eventually the internet) as a whole
[New Post] Introducing spartan-ecdsa
We introduce spartan-ecdsa, which to our knowledge is the fastest open-source method to verify secp256k1 ECDSA signatures in zero-knowledge.
We can now make proofs about ECDSA signature verification in a web browser in 5 seconds
Introducing merkle-tree, a rust crate
github.com/personaelabs/m…
Now we can build a Poseidion Merkle tree with 65536 leaves in under 250ms thanks to Rust and multi-threading.
Built on @arkworks_rs
👋 Nouners, we've been sprinting hard on HeyAnoun — A tool that lets noun-holders give feedback on proposals anonymously (using zero-knowledge proofs)
This is work that was originally founded by @nounsdao prop 150
Here's a quick update on where things are:
Introducing Sapir
github.com/personaelabs/s…
New experimental proving library built for client-side zk.
creddd.xyz is now using Sapir and the proving time has improved from >60s to 10s
Sapir is based on Spartan with modifications in how it obtains zero-knowledge.
hello @nounsdao
over the weekend, our proposal (nouns.wtf/vote/150) to build out credibly pseudonymous chat passed
we're very very excited to work together
[New Post] Efficient ZK ECDSA (1/n)
In this first post of a multipart series, we share a new technique for optimizing ECDSA signature verification in a SNARK
hello bogota
we're excited to share some of the things we've been up to this week at #DevconVI
the past month has been extremely exciting for the progress of ZK applications and we hope to share a glimpse of the future with this week's talks and workshops
a first pass on what 'pseudonym-powered' discussion might feel like for @nounsdao from @SalvinoArmati
notice the ability to post from 3 types of 'identity':
1. 'doxed', i.e Seneca
2. persistent pseudonym (i.e. Mr. Noun)
3. heyanoun-style anon (i.e. Anon)
