.@Ingo_zk presented ICICLE-Halo2 v2, a new fork of ezkl-halo2 with up to a 25x performance boost. Based on the popular Halo2 zk-SNARK originally by ZCash, this version brings GPU-accelerated improvements applicable to other versions like zcash-halo2, pse-halo2, and axiom-halo2. 3/

📢 Introducing ICICLE-Halo2 v2 Our almost-native GPU, blazing-fast Halo2-EZKL Fork. 🏎️Technical writeup: 👩‍💻Code: 🧑‍🍳Chef: @0xemirsoyturk | huge thanks to @ezklxyz !
.@ethcforg launches BlobKit, a full-feature SDK for Ethereum’s native data layer. BlobKit simplifies writing to blobs, handling encoding, commitments, and formatting with minimal code. It unlocks new Ethereum applications like ephemeral messaging, offchain votes, and compressed state channels. 4/

The Ethereum Community Foundation is proud to launch BlobKit, a full-feature SDK that makes Ethereum’s native data layer usable. We said we were here to burn ETH. This is how we start. BlobKit gives developers a direct way to write to blobspace. It handles encoding, commitments, and transaction formatting without requiring custom infrastructure. What used to take hundreds of lines of code now takes one.
.@OpenZeppelin introduces MCP Contracts. This means you can write secure, audited smart contracts directly in @cursor_ai, @AnthropicAI, @windsurf, or any AI assistant! Now live for @Ethereum (EVM), @Starknet, @StellarOrg, and @arbitrum Stylus. 5/

Introducing the OpenZeppelin Contracts MCP 🤖 Build secure, OpenZeppelin-standard smart contracts directly in @cursor_ai @AnthropicAI @windsurf_ai or any AI assistant. Now available on @ethereum (all EVM), @Starknet, @StellarOrg, and @arbitrum Stylus.
A new @zeroknowledgefm podcast episode exploring ZKTorch & the Evolution of ZKML is now out! In this episode, @AnnaRRose and @daniel_d_kang discuss tools like zkCNN, zkLLM, EZKL, and ZKTorch, explore applications like FaceID verification and proof of training, while addressing technical challenges in integrating ZK proofs with machine learning. 6/
