At @commonwarexyz, we hire folks that have scaled protocols in production (i.e. "seen some shit"). Nothing prepares you for designing a primitive like the memory of debugging a "clever" algorithm at 3AM. André, a Polkadot contributor for 6+ years, is exactly what we look for.

Excited to share our new paper: https://t.co/EIsfIsZAW4! We made Groth16 dynamic - proofs can now be efficiently updated when the witness changes slightly. Amazing that after 10 years, we still have new insights of Groth16 and Pinocchio. Joint work with two brilliant new students

@toghrulmaharram Have you checked out Minimmit? Should be simplest/fastest at a 5f+1 bound and you can use a balanced broadcast variant if needed https://t.co/inTj0IS67X
