Bonsol: Verifiable Compute for Solana

Verifiable Computation (VC) is running a specific workload in a way that generates a proof of its workings that can be publicly verified without re-running the calculation. In addition to Bonsol, the Anagram build team has delved into many places in the VC space, projects like Jolt, zkllvm, spartan 2, Binius are the ones we are tracking, as well as companies working in the fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) space.

Inscribing & Etching: Is Still Worth Participating in the Trendy Rune Projects?

This article explores the difference between Inscription and Rune. The inscription uses Segregated Witness and Taproot technology to "inscribe" content on the Bitcoin network. In contrast, Rune uses Etching to bind balances to UTXO, so Rune is technically more efficient, with lower transaction costs and without blocking the Bitcoin network.

Cryptography Says FHE is the Next Step for ZK

Cryptography Says FHE is the Next Step for ZK

Ethereum's need to scale has led to the development of Layer 2 solutions, with ZK/OP rollups emerging as key players, forming a short-term OP and long-term ZK consensus, highlighting ARB, OP, zkSync, and StarkNet as major contenders. Web3 users prioritize privacy only when it provides economic value. FHE's encryption cost further burdens the already low on-chain efficiency, and large-scale adoption is feasible only when significant benefits justify the cost. For institutional clients needing public blockchains but unwilling to disclose all information, FHE's ability to display and trade ciphertext is more suitable than ZKP.

New ZK Project Mystiko Overview

Mystiko is a base layer of Web3, functioning as a universal ZK SDK to enhance the scalability, interoperability, and privacy of blockchains. Mystiko's Software Development Kit (SDK) allows developers to build blockchain applications, thereby reducing costs, enabling easy expansion, secure cross-chain interactions, and protecting users' on-chain identities (account balance, transaction history, etc.). It uses a technology called Snark of Snark to increase its security and reduce its gas fees. Mystiko.Network has integrated ZK Rollup, reducing transaction costs on the mainnet by 50-90% compared to other major existing ZK solutions.

The GPU of Blockchain: Comprehensive Analysis of ZK Coprocessors

The ZK coprocessor can be regarded as an off-chain computing plug-in derived from the modular concept. Its function is similar to the GPU in our traditional computers that shares graphics computing tasks for the CPU, that is, a processor that shares computing tasks in specific scenarios. . Under this design architecture, heavy data and complex calculation logic tasks that public chains are not good at can be calculated through the ZK coprocessor. The chain only needs to receive the returned calculation results, and its correctness is determined by ZK proof guarantees, and ultimately enables trusted off-chain calculations of complex tasks.
