ZK Mesh Mini is your weekly dose of ZK, where we unpack the top developments in the ZK space from the past 7 days. In this edition we'll cover: @drakefjustin's pic of a SNARK ASIC by @Accseal @StarknetFndn / @Starknet news @ingo_zk about ICICLE v1.3.0 release @PrivacyScaling announces @AnonAadhaar v1 @SuccinctLabs' zkVM Succinct Processor 1 aka SP1 Last week-end, @drakefjustin posted a picture of the first ๐€๐’๐ˆ๐‚ ๐ณ๐ค-๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ for optimized MSM and FFT, made by @Accseal (and held by @sandyzkp?). It paves the way for zk-enabled hardware computation in upcoming years.
