It was cool to see Jens Groth generating proofs, the Aztec team getting excited about Plonk's place in the museum, and best of all was Andrew Lu meeting Don Beaver.

Last week at Devcon, I exhibited as part of Cursive's Cryptographic Connections museum. Inspired by the experience of generating coSNARKs on the Alphanet, I wanted to showcase the history of MPC, tracing the development of coSNARKs and TACEO tooling from their beginnings.

CoSNARKs have been heating up since Devcon 🔥
and some of the leading ZK projects are currently onboarding to try our alphanet for private proof delegation.
There are a few slots left, so if you wanted to offload some proving in a privacy preserving way, our dms are open.

Dum spiro spero.

I exist because my grandparents fled despots.

You can’t take the bluesky from me.
