## Content

The Rollup Coaster is a bi-weekly newsletter that dives into the fascinating world of Ethereum, exploring the latest in rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, based sequencing/preconfirmations, TEEs, MEV/PBS and much more. This edition is written by Taiko’s Researcher Jünger. Hold on tight! 🎢 Disclaimer: This newsletter is neither financial advice, nor is indicative of Taiko’s position on any of the material presented. Please do your own research.Highlights 🎢Max Resnick joined the Bankless episode. Great topics covered by Max like the state of rollups, the future of L2s, based rollups and scale the L1 itself.Succinct Labs has announced a collaboration with Optimism. Now it's possible to build a ZK rollup with SP1 on top of OP Chain.ZK and rollup research 🧙Risc Zero published an article discussing Risc Zero’s zkVM and approaches to existing acceleration initiatives like Jolt, Binius and Circle STARKs.Ingonyama published a paper on implementation of Mersenne 31 field.Zellic discovered two vulnerabilities in Groth16 proofs.Mike Neuder shared his take on Ethereum’ future.The Rollup hosted Justin Drake. Current rollup landscape and future of L1/L2s were discussed.Jolt, open-sourced the arithmetization library which based on 256-bit field. Here is the mental model of using big fields on Jolt.Brecht shared an explanation of Gwyneth, a synchronously composable based rollup. Shibam Mukherjee @ShibamMukherjii eprint.iacr.org/2024/1390 Just finished,, exploring cache timing leakages in ZK protocols,, I wonder how it might look in the future with power or more sophisticated side-channel attacks. any feedback would be cool ;) eprint.iacr.org Cache Timing Leakages in Zero-Knowledge Protocols The area of modern zero-knowledge proof systems has seen a significant rise in popularity over the last couple of years, with new techniques and optimized constructions emerging on a regular basis.... 63 2:03 PM • Sep 4, 2024 Elias wrote an article discussing the challenges that may face Kakarot.Bottazzi shared his notes on Extractable Witness Encryption for KZG.Ingonyama introduced zkDL++.
