Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Alpen Labs Looks to Scale Bitcoin With Zero-Knowledge Proofs Using $10.6M Funding
Alpen Labs has emerged from stealth mode following the funding round, having spent the last year developing Bitcoin rollup infrastructure to bring smart contract functionality to the network

Venture Firm A16z Releases Jolt, a 'Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine'
The release is the product of a16z's first foray into deep tech research.

Ethereum Finalizes 'Dencun' Upgrade, in Landmark Move to Reduce Data Fees
A key element of the upgrade is to enable a new place for storing data on Ethereum – referred to as "proto-danksharding," which gives room for a dedicated space on the blockchain that is separate from regular transactions, and comes at a lower cost.

Polygon Lands Astar Network as First User of New 'AggLayer'
By plugging into the AggLayer, Astar users will have access to the liquidity in the Polygon ecosystem, allowing cross-chain transactions between Astar and Polygon zkEVM, supposedly making the experience feel like a single chain.

Taiko, an 'Ethereum-Equivalent ZK Rollup,' Raises $15M
The Taiko project, distinguished for its "based sequencing" architecture, is one of several competing for relevance among a deep field of Ethereum layer-2 networks.

Polygon, StarkWare Tout New 'Circle STARKs' as Breakthrough for Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Circle STARKs are supposed to accelerate the proving process for zero-knowledge rollups, according to a white paper published by Polygon Labs and StarkWare.

What Are Zero-Knowledge Proofs?
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) allow crypto network users to verify the validity of a transaction without revealing details of the transaction.

Making Sense of Web3’s Burgeoning AI Ecosystem
Although the intersection of Web3 and AI has great potential, there is a lot of confusion about this emerging technology in the market today. Mapping out the GPU supply chain, layers of the tech stack, and various competitive landscapes can help investors better understand the ecosystem and make more informed investment decisions, says David Attermann, at M31 Capital.

Polygon Stops Work on 'Edge,' Used to Build Dogechain, as Focus Turns to ZK
Polygon Labs, a developer of scaling networks for Ethereum, has shifted toward "Polygon CDK," a blockchain-development kit powered by zero-knowledge cryptography. The older "Polygon Edge" was used by Dogechain, in an unofficial effort to build a Dogecoin-oriented smart-contracts network.

Chainlink Data Feeds Available on Polygon zkEVM
Developers building on Polygon’s zkEVM will be able to incorporate these data feeds into their on-chain applications.
