C++, Go, C#… meet ZK. ZKM CTO @sd_eigen outlines Ziren’s focus on multi-language support, enabling ZK development from mainstream languages like C++, Go, C#, rather than forcing a Rust-only path. The emphasis is on a practical DevX and lower adoption friction. Keep your

Highlight Ziren's Golang Support and Geth(@go_ethereum) proof generation. And our GPU binary will be open-sourced soon!
At San Francisco's @frontiertower, ZKM Education Lead @alicelingl walked us through the Ziren codebase, project template, and path to real-time proving. If you missed it, Alice's Ziren Overview & Walkthrough video has you covered: https://t.co/Dv02yDpoIn

TEE = integrity bootstrap ZKP = privacy + succinctness Rely on hardware only to prove code identity. Rely on math to guarantee privacy & correctness.
🚨 TEEs just have been fully compromised 🚨 TLDR; A new exploit makes TEEs fully exploitable. Many crypto "privacy" projects used them. TEEs don't bring privacy or security. Our <encrypted> computing is the only solution. All you need to know 🧵👇

I’m often asked what projects I’m most bullish on. It’s difficult to answer because, in my position, I try to remain publicly neutral. That said, I’m becoming increasingly interested in the ZK-enabled Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin is by far the most widely adopted crypto asset,

Withdrawals on GOAT are designed around two promises: users exit quickly, and the process remains verifiable on #Bitcoin. 🔸Immediate value When a user triggers a peg out, the operator advances nearly the full sum. The user leaves with BTC in hand within moments. 🔸On-chain

Proving Geth would be a good start for Ziren @ProjectZKM to enable partial Linux ABI support, more ABIs would be available in the future.
The standardization should be the Linux system call interface and memory layout. Anything else will be a world of pain for any client maintainer. Thankfully @RiscZero and @ProjectZKM understand that, I hope that there will be more adoption by other zkvms.
