ZODA Joint work with @nico_mnbl and @angeris (with help from @NashQueue, @sanaz2016, and @jadler0) A minor tweak to the encoding procedure makes data squares like @Celestiaorg’s provably correct, opening a path to both higher data throughput and lower-latency light nodes

With nearly $7Bn in liquidity across @UniswapProtocol, @SushiSwap and @BalancerLabs, what are LPs getting for their capital? How should we set fees to maximize LP value? We explore this problem in a new paper with @tarunchitra and @angeris stanford.edu/~guillean/pape…

Replying to @alexhevans
To give you a sense: Even in late 2021, we (like most reasonable people) didn’t believe a performant, bytecode-compatible zkEVM was possible In October of that year, @shenhaichen came by @BainCapCrypto and drew up an early version of the Scroll system with me and @angeris
