zkNews Is Now Open to Everyone

ZK/SEC June 06, 2026 1 min

A while back we announced zkNews, a zero-knowledge link aggregator for the community. At the time we launched in beta, with access limited to a smaller group of users while we made sure everything held up.

Today we're happy to share that the gates are open: zkNews is no longer rate-limited, and anyone can sign up.

What changed?

When we first launched, sign-ups were capped so we could keep an eye on stability and quality while the platform was young. We've since had time to iron things out, and we're confident zkNews is ready for a bigger crowd.

That means you no longer need an invite or a spot on a waitlist. Head over to news.zksecurity.xyz, create an account, and you're in.

What can you do now?

Submit links: Found a great paper, talk, or project? Share it with the community.
Discuss: Jump into the comments on trending posts and add your perspective.
Vote: Help surface the best content by upvoting what you find valuable.

Same mission

Nothing has changed about what zkNews is for. It's still your one-stop shop for the latest news, research, and projects in the zero-knowledge space. The only difference is that the door is now open to everyone.

Checking the Checkers and Auditing the Ironwood FV

Cryptographic software is error-prone and failures are catastrophic, therefore formal verification is a powerful and increasingly practical tool for greatly improving the assurances of our cryptographic software. But who verifies the formal verification? Formal verification itself is software too, what is proved, under which assumptions and its relation to the real-world implementation lie beyond the scope of the machine-checked proof. In this post, we want to give some insights into our three-week audit of the Ironwood formalization and some of the common pitfalls that formal verification more broadly can encounter.

Archetype x zkSecurity - Proof is in the Pudding: zkML

In Session 11 of "Proof is in the Pudding," we look at what it takes to prove model inference. We cover transformer computation, sumcheck, GKR, lookup arguments, quantization, and KV caching, then discuss scaling and possible uses for verifiable ML.

Intro to Clean for Devs.

We think that Clean is the future of circuit development, so we created a programmer-first introduction to show circuit developers who have never used formal verification how they can build circuits faster, safer and better.

SoK: What don’t we know? Understanding Security Vulnerabilities in SNARKs

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!

Soundness Failures in LaBRADOR Implementations from NTT -Friendly Rings

Post-quantum cryptography is making its way into production libraries, and correct implementation is far from trivial. We reviewed several LaBRADOR implementations on GitHub and found three of them broken, with soundness collapsing as far as a single bit, because of parameter choices that look perfectly reasonable in many lattice-based protocols; a power-of-2 modulus, a composite modulus, or NTT-friendly rings for efficient ring multiplication. The post goes through how each of those choices undermines the protocol's soundness argument, and why NTT-friendliness, of all things, turns out to be the wrong instinct if not handled carefully.

The zero-knowledge attack of the year might just have happened, or how Nova got broken

Last week, a surprising paper revealed a major vulnerability in Microsoft's Nova, a leading zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) system, that showcased a false computation with a valid proof. This discovery is especially intriguing given the complexity and robustness typically associated with ZKP systems. We had just launched our company to tackle bugs in ZKP frameworks, and while we anticipated issues, complete breakdowns of systems themselves are rare. Nova's issue revolved around cycles of elliptic curves, showing how small implementation oversights in complex cryptographic systems can lead to significant errors. This post dives into the intricate mechanics of Nova and the discovery process, offering a fascinating glimpse into why rigorous specifications are crucial in cryptography.
