Since y'all spammed my timeline full of #Ethereum existential crises, here's a letter I sent to EF leadership in a year and half ago 😬.

What this announcement fails to convey is how easy it is to write circuits.
Binius64 feels more like writing digital logic circuits writing than ZK arithmetic circuits.
1/ Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for Irreducible. We started as a custom-hardware company, and now we are fully focused on high-performance software.
Read below about our pivot and our new proof system, Binius64 👇
It's so amusing when you ask claude to provide a plan for some change and it be like:
Week 1: Base Infrastructure
Week 2: Basic cases working
Week 3: All test cases passing
Week 4: Performance optimization & documentation
and then it's done in like 10 minutes.
Can we get apt-get repo but with SNARK proofs that the binaries actually come from the claimed commit and compiler? Especially now with the recent breakthroughs in zkvms like Jolt?
Check out the 🧵!
Potentially, compilation could be skipped altogether and machine code for selected platforms could be posted along with a proof of correctness.
There are some caveats and more research is needed, but it's nuts it's possible! Opens big design space.
