We are excited to announce that vlayer has been accepted into the Fall 2024 cohort of @a16zcrypto’s Crypto Startup Accelerator! At vlayer Labs, we are on a mission to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 by building a new category - verifiable data infrastructure. We're looking forward to connecting with the other participants in New York, meeting and learning from top crypto founders, and receiving guidance from a16z’s experts to help realize our mission. Stay tuned for more updates ⛛

Exactly. Mu understanding is blobs use kzg based verkle trees.

You got me investigating. I looked at several repos and they have both ipa and crs in dependencies, but no kzg. I do remember a ceremony for verkle trees though last year. I guess it went unused or crs is used for sth else. Will digg deeper before next movie.

Interesting. So Ethereum is using kzg as vector commitment in verkle trees (which we will talk about in next video). But it seems you can also use ipa instead (which I didn’t know about).

The teaser for the next zkMarek episode is out! 🔭 As we leave the world of Digital Signatures, let's take one last look at the intuitions behind it. 👀 Now, we set our sights on pairings, trusted setups, KZG, and Verkle trees. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9PQfaRRkQw

I went hunting for folks working in cryptography and privacy yesterday and found: * @kazani.eth - lots of good, regular posts about /privacy * @mratsim - working on some good reference implementations of curves in Nim * @zkmarek - doing some interesting visualizations on understanding cryptography Some other no-brainer follows for privacy and cryptography are @eulerlagrange.eth and @cassie. I’m sure I’m missing a ton of great folks though, so who should I add to this list?

Funny story, I have been challenged by @eulerlagrange.eth to make point at infinity more intuitive. Challenge accepted and accomplished. Also: My first Youtube short 0:45s! Yey! Making cryptography easy again :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=josvCacPz7w
