We are proud to announce our partnership with @WalrusProtocol, the decentralized storage network — together we are redefining verifiable data availability! 🦭.Soundness Layer brings fast, censorship-resistant data verification to the ecosystem. Join our upcoming testnet!.🧵👇

A sound internet needs a strong foundation—one that ensures trust, efficiency, and verifiability. ZK enables verification over trust. By leveraging Sui and Walrus, Soundness Layer can serve as the backbone to make this vision a reality. 🐬💧🦭Towards a Sound internet. 🔜.

Sui is the endgame. 🐬💧.

7/🚀 Soundness Layer Testnet is Launching Soon! 🚀.Want fast, low-cost ZKP verification? Join our testnet and be among the first to experience the future of scalable & fully decentralized verification layers. 🔥 Get whitelisted now! 🔥.

1/ The internet is built on trust—but right now, that trust is fragile. 🧵.Misinformation spreads, engagement is manipulated, and incentives are broken. At Soundness Labs, we are fixing this by making both data & social interactions verifiable. Here is how: 👇

8/ Our full codebase will be open-sourced in Q2 2025 make sure you are following us for the upcoming annoucements. This is not just a vision and it is happening. 🚀.Let’s build a Sound Internet together. 🌍.

9/ We’re building the foundation to make this possible. You can find more details on this link:.🔗 If you’re a developer, researcher, or builder, join us. 📢 Stay tuned for updates as we roll out the next steps. Together, we can

8/ What does a Sound Internet look like?. ✅ Trustworthy Information – zk proofs verify what’s real.✅ Fair Incentives – Meaningful contributions get rewarded.✅ Interoperability – Verification works across different systems. A more open, transparent, and verifiable internet.

Announcing SP1 Proofs on Sui!. In collaboration with @SuiNetwork & @SuccinctLabs, @SoundnessLabs is bringing SP1 proofs to the Sui ecosystem!. Now, developers can build zkApps on Sui without deep cryptography expertise. A 🧵 on why this matters:

3/ Phase 1: Laying the Foundation (3–6 months).We’re starting with the core infrastructure:. ✅ Soundness Layer Testnet – A dev-friendly, low-cost data verification layer (coming soon . ).✅ Developer Tooling – SDKs & APIs for easy integration (SP1 <> Sui is a prime example).

8/ Join the Movement. 🔗 GitHub: 𝕏 Follow us @SoundnessLabs.💬 Join our Telegram & Discord

2/ Our vision goes beyond a blockchain validity layer. We are creating the foundation for a Sound Internet—where trust is built-in, interactions are transparent, and incentives are fair. This is our roadmap to get there.

7/Ready to build with SP1 on Sui?. 🛠 Try it out: SP1 SDK + Sui integration guide.💡 Check out more details in our blog post:.

4/ But infrastructure alone is not enough. We’re also laying the groundwork for verifiable interactions:.🔹 Expanding zk proofs beyond blockchain.🔹 Exploring new use cases where verification matters.🔹 Connecting decentralized data with real-world trust.

5/ Phase 2: Expansion (6–12 months). With the foundation set, we will focus on scaling adoption:.🌍 Mainnet Deployment – Bringing our data verification layer to production.🔗 Cross-Chain & Cross-System Verification – Making proofs work everywhere.🔑 Incentivization Models –.

@SuiNetwork 1/ Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are the backbone of privacy & scalability in Web3. But verifying them on-chain is expensive and slow. Soundness Layer solves this by offering a fast & decentralized data verification layer—and with Walrus, we are making it even more powerful. 🔥.

2/ Why Walrus? 🦭.Walrus is a decentralized storage network optimized for secure, verifiable data availability. With its fault-tolerant, censorship-resistant storage, Walrus ensures ZKPs & on-chain data remain accessible, verifiable, and low-cost.

3/ By deploying Soundness Layer on Walrus, we’ve built a solution where:.✅ Proofs are verified promptly ⏳.✅ Data is always available 🌍.✅ On-chain costs are minimized 💰.✅ Cross-chain proofs become seamless 🔗.A game-changer for zk-Rollups, zkBridges & future zkApps. 🚀.

4/With Soundness Layer on Walrus, we are making zkApps, gaming, AI verification & DeFi truly decentralized and affordable. How? 🤔.1️⃣ Users submit proofs.2️⃣ Re-staked validators verify them.3️⃣ Attestations finalize instantly.

6/ The numbers speak for themselves 📊.💰 $61M+ spent on L1 ZKP verification (Ethereum alone!).⏳ Ethereum verifies up to 120 zk proofs per block—not enough for mass adoption.🚀 Soundness Layer reduces these costs & scales well.A new era of efficient verification starts now.

5/ Imagine a world where:.🎮 Gaming proofs settle in real time.💱 DeFi trades verify instantly.🧠 AI datasets are cryptographically verifiable.🔗 Cross-chain ZKPs just work.That’s the future we are building with Walrus + Soundness Layer.

5/ What is Soundness Labs doing?. We're building a Sound Internet. In this project, we've developed a SP1 Groth16 SNARK verifier for Sui!.That means Sui developers can verify zk proofs from SP1 onchain—bridging the gap between efficient proof generation and scalable verification.

6/ Trust can’t be built in isolation. We’re forging key partnerships with crypto communities, enterprises & platforms to integrate verifiable trust mechanisms into their ecosystems. And we’re moving toward a permissionless model where no single entity controls verification.

7/ Phase 3: Maturity (12+ months). Once adoption grows, we’ll focus on:.🔹 Decentralized Attestation Network – Permissionless verification for data & interactions.🔹 Privacy Enhancements – Verifying without exposing private info.🔹 Scalability – Supporting real-world applications.

2/ What is SP1?. SP1 is a fast, production-ready zkVM that:.✅ Prioritizes developer experience (i.e., write zkApps in Rust, not circuits).✅ Optimizes for blockchain use cases (e.g., rollups, digital signatures, state proofs).✅ Optimizes proof generation costs.

@fede_intern @proxima424 @alignedlayer (4/n) Btw, coming from the open science space, we find it quite challenging to keep up with all the details in such a rapidly evolving field. However, a comprehensive comparison table in this area is currently lacking. We’ve taken the initiative to create one collaboratively.

3/ Why is Sui the perfect home for (SP1) zkApps?. 🔥 Low-latency, high-throughput transactions.🔥 Developer-friendly tools.🔥 Built-in zk support (e.g., zkLogin, custom verifiers, etc.)

@fede_intern @proxima424 @alignedlayer (5/n) Thanks again for initiating this discussion as we planned to do it offline. We’d be more than happy to engage with the projects on this list and adjust our numbers accordingly. Additionally, we’d be glad to discuss the concerns u raised in more detail, possibly over a call.

@oxvalox Probably, you did something that was not respecting our community rules. What's your username?.

6/ We encourage Sui developers to explore a wide range of ideas. In our blog post, we showcase how JWT, already used in zkLogin, can let users prove access to an email with a specific domain, without revealing the full email address. Potential use case: targeted airdrops.

4/ Projects like zkLogin, zkSend, & Stashed are a testament to Sui’s commitment to the space. In particular, Sui has processed 4M+ zkLogin transactions & 1.5M+ unique proofs, demonstrating that its ecosystem can support one of the most successful real-world zkApps.

@fede_intern @proxima424 @alignedlayer (1/n) Thank you so much for giving us our first mention here. 😉 We've already been in touch with the Aligned layer team but did'nt get any reply yet. As mentioned, we haven't made an official announcement yet and have only shared this draft with a select group, + your company.

@fede_intern @proxima424 @alignedlayer (2/n) As we mentioned, the Aligned layer isn’t a centralized solution and operates with around 20 validators; however, the proofs are sequenced centrally, with operators handling verification.

1/ Why is this exciting?. Sui is a high-performance L1 designed for scalable & efficient dApps. SP1 is a state-of-the-art zkVM that makes zero-knowledge proofs accessible to every developer. By bringing them together, we make zkApp development easy.

@fede_intern @proxima424 @alignedlayer (3/n) We noticed a contradiction here regarding the claimed throughput of 10k per second while using recursive STARKs. It would be great to clarify how a recursive STARK can be executed in under a second.
