Engineering updates

During November we ran the zk-arcade campaign, and delivered 33 PRs across both repositories that expanded platform capabilities and improved stability. Major highlights: * Ethereum Fusaka Fork migration: Migrated Aligned to support Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade with EIP-7594 blob sidecars * Mina verifier integration: Added support for Mina proof systems, expanding

This week focused on network deployments and enhanced gaming experiences. We successfully deployed new networks on Sepolia and Hoodi, while delivering significant improvements to the ZK Arcade platform including a new game called Parity and better user interface elements. The Sepolia network is now being used to test the integration

This week brought significant improvements to both the Aligned infrastructure and the ZK Arcade gaming experience. Key focus areas included batcher performance optimizations, enhanced user interfaces, expanded ZK Arcade features, and improved cross-platform support. Summary Total PRs merged: 25 (8 from aligned_layer, 17 from zk_arcade) aligned_layer Repository

The last two weeks focused on improving the user experience for ZK Arcade with enhanced UI/UX features, better proof submission flows, and user guidance. The Proof Verification Layer continued to see performance optimizations and stability improvements. Below, you can find a demo of ZK Arcade, shared by RJ, that

Last week we finished a complete version of the ZK Arcade and ran a playtest with external users. This feedback is now being used to improve the user experience. The Proof Verification Layer has also been improved with some minor upgrades related to developer experience and reliability. See below for

During the last week, we focused on enhancing zk arcade's usability and documentation while gathering valuable user feedback to drive continuous improvements. We also updated the testnet version of Risc0 to ensure compatibility with the latest features and performance enhancements. Closed PRs from last week 1. #73 – feat:

Update: * Risc0 code for Aligned is being updated to its latest version, and will be deployed on mainnet soon. * #2020 * zk-arcade MVP has been finished, with work now continuing to make it more reliable and easier to use * #46 – fix(web): update favicon * #45 – feat(beast): indicate where the proof

This week, the majority of the engineering team's efforts were dedicated to preparing for the release of a new version of Aligned, v0.17.0. Key tasks included updating the version of RISC Zero and integrating Circom into our supported verifiers. These changes have already been merged into

Most of the work this week has been on continuing with the experiments of building games and applications on top of Aligned. We are developing 2 categories of apps. Simpler ones that can be run on the browser, and more complex ones that need to be run locally. For browser

Most of the engineering work this week has been on making new examples for Aligned, where the user can interact with or where the technologies are more novel. We are now finishing examples of ZK sudoku and another simple puzzle game, where a server generates proofs on behalf of the

This week we upgraded the fast mode protocol on Testnet to its latest version, bringing some reliability upgrades and upgrading the verifiers libraries to their latest version. We also worked on improving the aggregation mode all across the board, from reliability, to performance and a better integration with the current

Welcome to our weekly engineering updates post which details the latest improvements, features, and fixes. We have finished and merged the PRs for: 1. Scaling the aggregation mode through proofs of aggregation of aggregated proofs. 2. The full flow example for the aggregation mode. We are also doing some work
