Blockchain Foundations

In recent years, Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) have gone from an academic curiosity to a cornerstone of the next generation of blockchain, privacy-preserving computation, and verifiable applications. But while the potential of ZKPs is massive, the barriers to adoption have been just as significant. Traditionally, implementing ZKPs required expertise in advanced

Introduction Imagine if writing a zero-knowledge proof was as straightforward as crafting any other Rust program—no exotic DSLs, no wrestling with specialized tooling, just cargo prove and you’re off to the races. That’s precisely the promise of Succinct SP1 zkVM: a zkVM that runs standard Rust (or

Overview The UK’s draft Financial Services and Markets Act amendments aim to bring crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents under the same transparency, consumer-protection, and operational-resilience standards as traditional finance firms Financial News London. These rules promise to reshape on-chain user experiences by tightening KYC flows, enhancing platform security, and

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) represent a cryptographic breakthrough, allowing one party to prove the truth of a statement to another without revealing any underlying information beyond the statement's truth itself. This technology has immense potential for enhancing privacy, security, and scalability in blockchain and beyond. However, harnessing the power

The vision of Web3—a decentralized, user-centric internet—hinges on seamless connectivity across blockchains. Yet, the reality is a fragmented landscape of isolated networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, each with its own protocols, assets, and ecosystems. This fragmentation stifles innovation, limits user experience, and hampers the scalability of decentralized

Decentralized Science (DeSci) is reshaping the landscape of scientific research by leveraging blockchain technology to address longstanding challenges in funding, data sharing, publishing, and intellectual property (IP) management. By utilizing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), token-based incentives, and blockchain’s inherent transparency, DeSci is fostering a more open, equitable, and collaborative
