Vector X: Bringing Avail’s Offchain Data Availability Solution to Ethereum with Succinct’s ZK Light Client

Vector X: Bringing Avail’s Offchain Data Availability Solution to Ethereum with Succinct’s ZK Light Client

Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Avail to develop Vector X: a ZK light client that secures Avail’s data attestation bridge to Ethereum. Avail’s mainnet launch will provide a secure and decentralized data availability base layer that provides high throughput sovereign rollups and Ethereum-settled validiums

Introducing Succinct

Introducing Succinct

Succinct is where the developer community collaborates on applications, proof systems and proving infrastructure to build the future of ZK. We believe the novel affordances of ZK will enable the next wave of onchain innovation. But today, the ZK developer experience is too burdensome and prevents adoption. Our alpha release

Blobstream X: Streaming Celestia DA to Ethereum with Succinct’s ZK Tendermint Light Client

Blobstream X: Streaming Celestia DA to Ethereum with Succinct’s ZK Tendermint Light Client

For the past year, Succinct has been working on making interoperability more secure by building open-source, production-ready, trust-minimized on-chain light clients, enabled by ZK technology. The succinctness properties of ZK proofs function as the “ultimate precompile” for the EVM, where any computation, no matter how complex, can be verified for

Securing $40M+ TVL on Gnosis Chain with Succinct's Ethereum ZK Light Client

Securing $40M+ TVL on Gnosis Chain with Succinct's Ethereum ZK Light Client

Eight months ago, we announced our first demo application that uses our implementation of "proof of consensus" for Ethereum: a bi-directional bridge between Goerli testnet and Gnosis Chain. Today, after close collaboration with the Gnosis core development team, we are thrilled to share that our Ethereum ZK light client has

BTC Warp: Don't Sync, Verify

With gratitude to Jesse Zhang, Partick Insinger, and the Succinct Labs team for starting this project at ETH San Francisco, and Marc Ziade for writing the inital draft of this post. Introduction We present BTC Warp, a succinct, verifiable proof of Bitcoin block headers to solve light node syncing. Today,

Introducing Telepathy

The first decentralized and secure zkSNARK interoperability protocol for Ethereum. Telepathy enables interoperability without compromise. Built with zkSNARKs, Telepathy allows developers to trustlessly communicate from Ethereum to any other chain with the security of Ethereum's light client protocol, without resorting to less secure multisigs or centralized actors. Live on Ethereum

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Sync Committee

Recently, there has been some discussion about how the Ethereum sync committee does not get slashed for double signing or signing invalid block headers. We’ve been upfront about this for quite some time: see https://succinct-2.ghost.io/proof-of-consensus-bridging-between-ethereum-and-gnosis-chain/#security-analysis, published last October. At Succinct, we're building Telepathy: a

Proof of Consensus Bridging between Ethereum and Gnosis Chain

Succinct is excited to announce the release of a gas efficient on-chain light client for Ethereum PoS, powered by succinct zero-knowledge proofs (zkSNARKs), allowing for arbitrary, trust-minimized cross-chain communication between Ethereum and Gnosis Chain. Our demo proof of consensus token bridge between Goerli and Gnosis can be found at demo.

Our first demo! Try the Goerli Gnosis Chain Bridge

Succinct's first demo is a proof of concept bridge between Goerli (an Ethereum testnet) and Gnosis Chain that allows users to deposit "Succinct Tokens" (an ERC-20 we created) to a Goerli deposit contract and recieve minted Succinct tokens on Gnosis Chain. This demo showcases how Succinct's implementation of proof of

Batch ECDSA in zkSNARKs

With gratitude to Yi Sun for writing the original spec, Jonathan Wang for circuit design help, and the Optimism & Arbitrum team for fruitful discussions. We present circom-batch-ECDSA (link to repo), a proof-of-concept implementation building on top of circom-ECDSA (previous work done by others in the 0xPARC community) with inspiration from

Towards the endgame of blockchain interoperability with proof of consensus

Over the past few years, there has been a variety of different blockchain ecosystems offering decentralized settlement layers for various applications. These blockchains lie on different points of the tradeoff curve of decentralization, security, throughput, and cost. Decentralized applications have varied requirements and developers can choose which platform is best
