zkWeekly #0

Your weekly digestion on what's the latest on Zero Knowledge and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) fields

Aztec, the privacy-focused Ethereum zk-rollup has sunsetting their privacy infrastructure Aztec Connect, albeit the sequencer will still be operating until March 21st 2024 (users will have to run withdrawal software or rely on community-run sequencers to withdraw their fund after that).

The team has encouraged the community to fork, deploy, and operate a new version of the system and will give out their next batch of grants in April to support that.

Aztec's focus going forward will be on Noir - their language for zk development - as well as their Noir-centric encrypted zk-rollup.

  • Aleo releases deploy and execute functionality

Aleo - a private computation L1 - has released their deploy and execute functionality as part of their roadmap to mainnet.

Developers can now deploy Leo (their zk domain-specific language) programs to Aleo's program registry on Testnet 3. For more information about how to develop on Leo, please visit https://developer.aleo.org/getting_started/.

Another cool zkML application utilizing EZKL being built during ETHDenver is NPC Wars. The theme of it is a war between different AI NPC with models being uploaded by developers.

ETH is staked to be able to upload a model, which incentivized crowdsourced training competitions. The model is then turned into zk-SNARK circuit by EZKL which is then used to verify who's the winning model, which gets the ETH rewards.
