A new paper worth being excited about: proofs of useful work (pouw) by Ilan Komargodski @komargodski, Itamar Schen, and Omri Weinstein @WeinsteinOmri. tldr; a pow function involving matrix multiplication such that the miner can choose the matrices freely.

Seeing two prominent community figures clashing publicly over Kas X is very refreshing, and I genuinely hope to see more such fights being aired openly. Our strength as a community lies in our disunity; the strength of bitcoin lies in the reality that opposing entities and.

@benafisch wholeheartedly agree with point (1): data manipulation aka the oracle problem is overlooked, is considered by crypto academia and crypto VC a second-order problem, whereas in truth it is as challenging to solve compared to computation validity, the voodoo math of zkp.

During the good old big block bitcoin debates, Gregory Maxwell & @MeniRosenfeld proposed elastic block caps (. That idea was largely forgotten—but inspired by this line of thought, I’m proposing some flavour of it to enable elastic throughput and native.

is a good (currently best?) step towards LLM privacy; still the CCP can easily detokenize user input. Long term, fully homomorphic encryption should become the standard--user sends an FHE encrypted prompt, LLM server runs inference on the ciphertext, and.

In undergrad studies we were told a true story about a fire that broke out in a conference hotel; the engineer woke up in their room, grabbed many buckets of water, threw them all over the room until the fire was extinguished, and went back to sleep. The physicist woke up,.

The role of Core in open-source development is similar to that of a liberty-oriented self-limiting government: use the position of influence to enable and preserve a fair and decentralized demonopolized playing field, but avoid participating in the game itself. Trump endorsing.

4/6 People outside core are more than welcome to chime in and help finalize the design - @dimdumon and @VolokhIlia are brilliant examples of such a collab. For instance, help resolve the pending decision re the "best" zk-friendly hash function to be used in the bridge’s.

3/6 While we don’t plan to endorse or favour specific projects, I will likely be vocal about what features or standards all KAS L2 projects should comply with IMO, so that the properties of our sequencing engine shine throughout the layers (hint: max parallelism, interop.

(A few notes on KAS zk rollups and Core neutrality:). 2/6 In principle, following bitcoin’s script architecture, KAS L1 is verification-oriented. In accordance with that, Core (research @MichaelSuttonIL @FreshAir08 myself; devs TBD) is concerned with designing and implementing.

1/6 I can only assume Trump’s main concern with his new project is how to scope the implementation of a zkp op_code component and draw the line between responsibility over the resulting canonical bridge and responsibility over the actual L2 ecosystem.
