Base is partnering with Succinct to bring zero-knowledge proofs to Base Azul.
SP1 will prove $7.4 billion in deposits as @base joins a growing list of major L2s adding validity proofs to their roadmap with Succinct.

- Great work from the team at @fractalyze_io on constraint evaluation without an interpreter. Contributions like this move proving forward for everyone!(1 / 8) Zerocheck is the biggest cost in SP1's GPU prover: ~67% of a shard. Its hot core is one kernel, evaluating AIR constraints. Every zkVM interprets that kernel. We compiled it, with a real compiler. 2.34× faster, stage 191.5 → 135.3 ms. fractalyze.io/blog/constrain…
- Proud that Flock is part of this milestone for Ethereum's future. Until recently, proving standard hash functions was too slow for Ethereum blocks, so cryptographers instead built bespoke SNARK-friendly hashes. Flock — developed by @ronrothblum, @benediktbuenz, andGoodbye, Poseidon! An epic 8-year, 8-figure rabbit hole in post-quantum cryptography reaches its dream conclusion. The Ethereum Foundation is abandoning Poseidon for L1, pivoting to SHA or BLAKE. This milestone unlocks ultimate security for lean Ethereum and foreshadows a golden
- We opened Flock's prover to an open network of humans & AI through @yukonresearch, an autoresearch competition to drive performance to its frontier. The best result pushed proving throughput 255% over baseline to 1.8M BLAKE3 compressions/sec.Introducing @yukonresearch A platform for open frontier research. Over the past 2 months, an open network of humans + AI has already: - Beat Google’s frontier quantum circuit result over 50% - Made Poolside’s open-weight model run 2.6x faster - Increased post-quantum Ethereum
- Vitalik's strawmap update calls out what's new since 2023: → First-class privacy → Post-quantum → AI-assisted formal verification → Native rollups Here’s what we’ve shipped this year and where each lands against Ethereum’s Strawmap 👇I updated my 2023 roadmap diagram to overlay where the items that were there sit in the current Strawmap ( strawmap.org ). In general, a lot of overlap, but: * Some things got reshuffled in order (eg. quantum safety up-prioritized) * Some things deprioritized (eg.
