    A few weeks ago, we (@0xngmi, @yush_g, @outdoteth, @real_philogy) hacked together the first optimal second price auction on-chain, via create2 hacks. After polishing + analyzing the design (w @0xbeans and @rauchp), we've put up a post: blog.aayushg.com/posts/vickrey/. Alpha leak 🧵 (1/n)

    My breakdown of the different popular zk proving stacks, and why we chose the ones we did. Published post is at blog.aayushg.com/posts/zk -- hopefully it helps fledgling projects orient themselves quickly in the space, and help make the right choices for their usecases!

    A good survey of the current ZK languages and ecosystems especially for someone new to ZK. The author @yush_g has put in his own experience using some of the languages while building @proofofemail (interesting project to check out!) hackmd.io/GhtwVRDFTj23LD…
