Introducing Zolt: the first pure-Zig zkVM Fully compatible with @a16zcrypto's Jolt, the entire cryptography is made from scratch in @ziglang , only using the stdlib! No arkworks FFI or other dependencies 🫑 The first benchmarks:

A month later, Zolt v0.1.0 is here! - Code is good enough to make an official release - Faster than Jolt on the @eth_proofs' SHA256 benchmarks 😱 - Huge refactoring effort - Really fun to work on! - Still a lot of work to do to match Jolt with bigger programs (2^28 )

Check it out here: github.com/MatteoMer/zolt This version include two new packages `zolt-arith` (for the field operations) and `zolt-pool` (my rayon equivalent), that you can use in your own @ziglang projects.

A small thank you to everyone using Claude: We’re doubling usage outside our peak hours for the next two weeks.

if you are into zkVM, move to grand boulevards
the highest concentration of zkVM is located between metro bourse and grand boulevards in paris

benchmarks are fun and I hope to match Jolt perf one day, but there's a lot to do to be close🫑 I'm glad there's some great articles on how they improve Jolt perf tho πŸ˜„

the next steps for me are: 1. more examples programs, especially bigger ones 2. more work on perf: a lot of cryptographic optimizations are not in Zolt yet, and also pure perf work with Zig 3. add ZK 4. adding a native verifier to Zolt 5. clean the code

i think claude is french because he doesn't want to work on the first friday afternoon with sun in paris
Replying to @sylvechv

passkeys are already terrible UX for humans, why would agents need passkeys
πŸ€” we need passkeys for agents πŸ«† some way the agent can prove it is them to make a crypto signature πŸ” but also the agent has no way to extract the private key πŸ›Ÿ and maybe even some safety rails

To answer the tweet I think we should just use virtual CC, perfect tool for that: 1. Works everywhere 2. Can have limits 3. Can be revoked
