Everything runs on ledgers — from banks and governments to entire economies. Blockchains can transform them into a global, scientific system of trust. Watch @dionyziz keynote “The Vision of Blockchain” (Panathenea 2025, Athens). 1/3

Did you know that consensus is not needed to solve the double-spending problem? https://t.co/3t7rp0JWMQ

Proving an Ethereum PoS block's ancestry is hard. Verifying predecessor blocks without downloading all of Ethereum's ~200MB Beacon state is far from trivial. Inspired by @lodestar_eth's proving API, we built a Rust library that simplifies proving the lineage between two beacon

We're looking to onboard Senior Software Engineers with blockchain experience: https://t.co/bt6qwNFrQs If you think you're a good fit, please email your CV, GitHub handle, and transcript (if you graduated within the past 5 years) to ops@commonprefix.com.

Our team will be flying over to Brussels to attend @EthCC and @modular_summit, coming up in a few days. DM us if you'll be there and would like to talk!

CJ taking the stage at @xrplapex, talking about @axelarnetwork and the upcoming integration with XRPL.

We've curated our researchers' publications: https://t.co/erifQ7mjpg. Evidently, our scientists have been busy. Happy reading.

PoW vs PoS: Can wealth truly replace work in securing blockchains? Let's dive into why Proof-of-Work may be the key to more robust and secure blockchain systems. 1/5

In the past year, we've collaborated with @babylon_chain on their mission to bring Bitcoin Staking to the world: stake your bitcoins right from the Bitcoin chain and help secure the Cosmos ecosystem! 🧵 1/4

For those who couldn't make it in person, here's the recording of @shresth3103's talk:

Shresth (@shresth3103) giving a talk at #zksummit11 about common pitfalls and optimizations for modern cryptographic protocol implementations.

The Common Prefix team is in Athens for ZK Summit, by @zeroknowledgefm. Looking forward to discussing all things Zero Knowledge with the thought leaders of ZK research and implementation!🪄

Decentralization is the fundamental concept underpinning all blockchain systems. But what does this mean and how do we measure it? Christina (@_LadyChristina_) explains in her talk at FC'24, presenting joint work with @sol3gga & CP's @dimitKarakostas: https://t.co/qAubGjYFbi

This property was suspected but never proven before. Yet, billion-dollar DeFi protocols rely on it for their safety, e.g., in dispute period durations. The exact parameters are calculated in this paper: https://t.co/WXwANyTnv7 2/2

Apostolos (@ap_tzinas) presenting "On-Chain Timestamps Are Accurate" at FC'24. This joint work with @dionyziz and @ssrivatsan97 proves that timestamps of blockchain blocks do not deviate from real-world time, even in adversarially-produced blocks. 1/2

Our very own @dionyziz presenting "Light Clients for Lazy Blockchains," a paper describing how to construct a light client for "optimistic" chains like @CelestiaOrg. A collective effort alongside @ErtemTas, @dntse, and @yangl1996. 1/2

Kudos to @trailofbits for the great work, highlighting the gap between research and application. Checking the degree of the sharing polynomial might seem "obvious" to the cryptographer, but not to the engineer. This underscores the need for "translational cryptography". 1/4

Looking for a PhD position in blockchains? Time to join our Security & Privacy group at TU Wien! Apply here: https://t.co/ELtMfmlq5d @matteo_maffei @SecPrivTUWien

Today, we are announcing "Kevlar" ( https://t.co/XA534c7xDa), a tool that makes Metamask, or any RPC-based wallet, completely trustless! Kevlar first runs a light client to quickly sync with the beacon chain and then starts a local RPC proxy that you can add to your wallet
