We are excited to announce the launch of our third testnet, marking a significant advancement in the adoption of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs on Ethereum. This is our first public testnet open to third party operators for our EigenLayer AVS. We invite you to work with us towards our goal of accelerating the Ethereum roadmap by making the implementation of ZK proofs both easy and economical. By reducing the complexity and cost of verification, Aligned will establish ZK as the default solution fo...
AlignedAligned Manifesto
We live in an era where we can no longer trust what we read, see, or even hear. Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence have accelerated the production of illusory content. Fake news and alternative facts are displayed in all formats, for any purpose, from personal vanity to political propaganda. At the same time, global internet freedom is falling, as critical content is increasingly censored, and replaced with deepfakes and disinformation. This situation, combined with our heavy depen...
AlignedWhat are ZK-SNARKS?
SNARKS have gained considerable attention recently due to their broad utility in areas such as blockchain scalability, identity mechanisms, verifiable machine learning, and fighting against misinformation and fake news. We see new developments daily, but SNARKS have been around for a long time. SNARKs allow one party, the prover, to prove to another, the verifier, that a given computation was computed correctly.Key Properties of SNARKSZK-proofs are not a recent invention. The definitions, fou...
The past month has been full of exciting updates. 🎉
Check out this thread for a recap of the highlights!
✅ New partnerships.
✅ Multiple spaces and podcasts.
✅ Our participation in various events.
✅ And technical material.
Enjoy!
✅ Let's start with our new partnerships:
Aligned Partnerships Recap: 018 -> Nodekit.
This partnership will provide developers with a full-service cross-rollup layer with synchronous atomic composability backed by fast and cheap ZK verification.
Aligned Partnerships Recap: 019 -> Mina.
We're both excited about the Alignment of the ‘Proof of Everything’.
Mina will verify their Ethereum proofs with Aligned!
An internet full of true and verifiable information is being created, and we are happy to help.
Aligned Partnerships Recap: 020 -> Automata Network.
Automata is a modular attestation layer that establishes trust in computing machines by verifying their authenticity on-chain.
With this partnership, Automata is going to be verifying attestations for TEEs using Aligned.
Aligned Partnerships Recap: 021 -> 3MI Labs.
We have big plans with this great team!
🔹 Designing proof aggregation schemes.
🔹 Working on cryptographic primitives.
🔹 New hash functions.
🔹 And more.
Stay tuned for updates! 😉
Aligned Partnerships Recap: 022 -> Galxe.
A very promising partnership! 👀
Our collaboration aims to empower developers and significantly reduce the costs of using the Galxe Identity Protocol. This is a permissionless self-sovereign identity infrastructure.
✅ Let's continue with the Spaces offered this month.
🔹 Space with Polygon.
What were Polygon and Aligned cooking up during EthCC?
Get answers to all your ZK questions in this amazing Space.
🔹 Space with Mina.
This session provides details regarding our partnership and how we are helping to verify their Ethereum proofs.
More than 40 minutes of ‘Proof of Everything’ and Alignment.
🔹 Space co-hosted with Automata Network about ZK vs TEEs.
The participants delved deeply into technical explanations about these topics, offering insightful perspectives.
We highly recommend you listen to this very interesting conversation.
✅ Let’s move on to the Podcasts.
🔹 Podcast with The Rollup.
If you love ZK, you will love this podcast.
Two of our co-founders, Roberto Catalán and Mauro Toscano, explained technical details about our architecture, the challenges we face, and much more.
🔹 Podcast with Bitcoin Suisse.
Once again, two of our co-founders, Roberto Catalán & Diego Kingston, discussed Aligned’s mission, why proof verification is the next major bottleneck, and how we are solving it.
✅ Let's take a look at some highlights from the events we participated in this month.
🔹 Our participation at EthCC?
🔹 What happened at Lambda Hack Week 2?
We were thrilled to meet so many of you in Brussels!
Discover all here:
✅ Let's explore some of the technical content.
🔹 Let's start with an Introduction to circle STARKs by our Head of Research and co-founder Diego Kingston.
This is a very detailed article, ideal for anyone interested in a mathematical explanation.
🔹 Educational material about elliptic curve pairings.
This is a very important concept if you want to deeply understand certain proof systems, such as Groth16 and Plonk.
🔹 Finally, we conclude this recap with this material about Aligned: The Integrity Layer.
Can Aligned use any mechanism that ensures computation integrity?
What about Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)? Ready to find out? Read on!
Stay tuned: 🐦 Twitter | 🗨️ Telegram | 👾 Discord | 🌐 Website | 🌌 Galxe | 📝 Manifesto
Introduction Scalable, transparent arguments of knowledge (STARKs) have gained widespread attention due to their applications in verifiable computing and blockchain scalability. We can use STARKs to...
