We recently teamed up with Lighter to dive deep into their custom ZK circuits used for a verifiable orderbook matching on a Layer 2 exchange. Our findings show solid and well-structured code, thanks to their cooperative engineering team. The post gives a fascinating look into how Lighter’s ZK rollup ensures valid state transitions on Layer 1 through zero-knowledge proofs and the innovative structure of their order book matching process. It explains the roles of the main operation and exit hatch circuits, while also touching on how users can exit in emergencies. It's a great read if you're curious about how these systems maintain security and efficiency in decentralized finance.

We're teaming up with StarkWare to enhance Ethereum's scalability using an exciting tool called the EVM adapter. This innovative open-source project takes proofs from the Stone Prover and makes them verifiable on Ethereum, showcasing the power of Cairo bootloader programs for Layer 2 scaling. By diving into our collaboration, you'll get a glimpse of StarkNet's ability to streamline transactions efficiently and how our joint efforts are driving this tech forward. Plus, our Stark Book offers a deeper technical dive for the curious minds!

We've teamed up with some of the top minds in academia and industry to dive deep into the world of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and their vulnerabilities. Our new paper catalogues hundreds of ZK vulnerabilities, breaking down their root causes and offering strategies to sidestep these pitfalls. By digging into real-life SNARK implementations, we aim to bolster the security of these cutting-edge systems with actionable insights and recommendations. Curious about what makes ZKPs tick and how to keep them secure? You might find this study just what you need!
