This week:
a16z shares field notes from ZK Summit 2024
Worldcoin announces its own Layer-2, World Chain
Railgun token (RAIL) surges as Vitalik Buterin shows supports for its privacy pools protocol in an X post
FLock partners with IO.Net to bolster privacy-focused decentralized AI training
MIT and Deutsche Bundesbank collaborate on researching privacy in CBDCs
RBA study finds limited public support for retail CBDC due to privacy and safety concerns
Zooming into ZK:
L2O Consortium launches to set standards for zk-rollups, zkVMs, or zkEVMs to be trustlessly deployed on Bitcoin
Masa rolls out Mainnet for AI data network and marketplace
Scroll introduces blobs with the Bernoulli Upgrade
RISC Zero announces the launch of its general-purpose R0 zkVM
Nebra secures $4.5M in seed funding for ZKP tech, co-led by Nascent and Bankless
Ernst & Young adopts Ethereum with ZK-Proofs for automated contract management
Nebra secures $4.5M funding for 'Universal Proof Aggregation' protocol development
We dive into the details, so you don’t have to:
Ernst & Young (EY) introduces EY OpsChain Contract Manager (OCM), an Ethereum-based solution leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to streamline complex contract execution for private businesses. This Ethereum-powered platform facilitates various agreements, including purchase contracts, rate cards, volume discounts, rebates, and strike prices, ensuring timely, confidential, and cost-effective transactions. EY's choice of Ethereum over a private network aims to maintain fairness between parties and safeguard sensitive business data.
Polyhedra Network and Google Cloud join forces to enable developers with zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs through the "Proof Cloud" platform. Utilizing the Blockchain Node Engine, the partnership aims to streamline ZK workloads for blockchain applications. This collaboration could pave the way for advancements in privacy-preserving machine learning, leveraging Google Cloud's Vertex AI for enhanced features in ZK machine learning applications. To date, Polyhedra's Proof Cloud has successfully completed over 40 million ZK proof tasks, including support for zkBridge.
QED Protocol, in collaboration with StarkWare, zkLink, Mina Protocol, and O(1) Labs, announces the formation of the L2O Consortium. This consortium aims to enhance Bitcoin's native security, scalability, and interoperability by developing reference implementations, tools, and resources for decentralized applications (dApps) and Layer-2 solutions. The initiative seeks to enable trustless interoperability between applications on Bitcoin, bridging technical gaps with ordinals and zero-knowledge proofs to facilitate smart contract-like functionality.
