# ZK Mesh Mini > 2024.02.23 **Published by:** [ZK Mesh Mini](https://paragraph.com/@zkhack/) **Published on:** 2024-02-23 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@zkhack/meshmini20240223 ## Content It's Friday and you know what it means: it's time for ZK Mesh Mini! 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: @zkp2p in latest @zeroknowledgefm episode, @SuccinctLabs' SP1 Reth, @ethereum ZK Grants Round, ZK + DOOM powered by @RiscZero's zkVM, Circle STARK paper by @0xPolygon + @StarkWareLtd researchers. @Bmwball56 & @richardzliang from @zkp2p were the guests of @zeroknowledgefm episode 312, covering the present & the future of ZKP2P. Always a pleasure to see the progress of this project born during ZK Hack Lisbon! Zero Knowledge Podcast @zeroknowledgefm This week, @annarrose and @tarunchitra chat with @Bmwball56 & @richardzliang from @zkp2p. They discuss the current state of ZK tooling, the ZKP2P project, the potential and challenges, building w zk on existing payment rails, plus much more. zeroknowledge.fm Episode 312: ZKP2P with Brian & Richard - ZK Podcast Zero Knowledge Podcast is a show about zk proofs and other blockchain tech. Learn about the latest in zero knowledge research, cryptography-enabled privacy tech. 38 22:38 • 21 Feb 2024 https://zeroknowledge.fmEpisode 312: ZKP2P with Brian & Richard - ZK PodcastIn this week's episode, Anna and Tarun interview Brian Weickmann & Richard Liang from the ZKP2P project. They cover the opportunities and challenges of building ZK applications with the current tools available, as well as revisit the topic of ZK Email and explore how this lies at the heart of the current version of ZKP2P.In a recent article and tweet, @SuccinctLabs introduced SP1 Reth, an open-sourced proof-of-concept showcasing how to build a type-1 (bytecode compatible) zkEVM using @rustlang and SP1, their zkVM. Succinct @SuccinctLabs 1/ Introducing SP1 Reth: a POC that showcases how any rollup can build a performant, type 1 zkEVM with <2000 lines of maintainable Rust code using SP1. SP1 Reth already achieves $0.01-0.02 avg proving cost/tx by leveraging SP1's 100% open-source, customizable precompile system. 341 13:19 • 21 Feb 2024 https://blog.succinct.xyzIntroducing SP1 Reth: A performant type-1 zkEVM built with SP1We're excited to announce SP1 Reth: an open-source proof of concept that showcases how any rollup can build a performant (type-1, bytecode compatible) zkEVM with less than 2000 lines of maintainable Rust code using SP1. SP1 Reth is an early POC, but already achieves incredible performance (around $0.01-$@ethereum announced the opening of their ZK Grants Round to encourage projects building around zero-knowledge proofs. The grant is supported by @aztecnetwork, @Scroll_ZKP, @0xPolygon, @zksync & @taikoxyz. Ethereum Foundation @ethereum The first ZK Grants Round is now open! The Ethereum Foundation, in collaboration with Aztec, Polygon, Scroll, Taiko, and zkSync, contributed $150K each to the shared prize pool, totaling $900K. Apply before March 18th! esp.ethereum.foundation ZK Grants | Ethereum Foundation ESP ZK grants round co-funded with Aztec, Scroll, Taiko & zkSync to develop the ZK Layer 2 Ecosystem. 848 18:57 • 21 Feb 2024 https://esp.ethereum.foundationZK Grants | Ethereum Foundation ESPZK grants round co-funded with Aztec, Scroll, Taiko & zkSync to develop the ZK Layer 2 Ecosystem.@m0thran got DOOM running in @RiscZero’s zkVM & wrote a blog post about it. Fun fact: @RegularMarek asked “can I run DOOM?” back in ZK Hack Lisbon. The answer is now “yes” and it shows the progress being made in ZK. RISC Zero @RiscZero Finally, something for the Doomers to get excited about.

Polygon | Aggregated @0xPolygon Introducing Circle STARK At Polygon Labs, we’ve been heavily focused on improving ZK performance with Plonky3. For the past three months, we've collaborated closely with the @StarkWareLtd team to develop an incredibly fast proving system that will be incorporated into… 1,057 20:12 • 21 Feb 2024 https://eprint.iacr.orgCircle STARKsPaper 2024/278 Ulrich Haböck , Polygon Labs Abstract Traditional STARKs require a cyclic group of a smooth order in the field. This allows efficient interpolation of points using the FFT algorithm, and writing constraints that involve neighboring rows.Hope you liked this week’s ZK Mesh Mini!
