Q1 was great π
- on audits: found (4 soundness, 11 completeness, 20 cryptographic bugs, 10 logic bugs) across zkVMs, Bitcoin zkrollups, FHE protocols, noir, solana, STARK ecosystems and one DeFi project.
Glad to help secure them.
π₯ WHIR has landed in Plonky3 π₯
We just released v0.6.0, and with it we open the door to the world of multilinear PCS! π
We've also shipped a ton of cool new features and performance improvements.
π Spoiler alert: Circle STARK is now *really* fast.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

We at Protocol Snarkification - me and @alexanderlhicks, plus about 30 or so external collaborators - are working hard with formal verification to ship the highest-assurance zkVMs possible. (see end of thread for collaborators) (1/n)

zkVM audits are not smart contract audits with extra math. The risky parts sit between VM semantics, constraints, host inputs, proof generation, and verifier bindings. If the system proves the wrong statement, validity does not save you.
DMs open for focused reviews.
Crazy to see the new Whitehat leaderboard, @0xvivekd & @kemmio
saved billions of dollars hack π«‘
Looks like a new millionaire in the Whitehats.
@ the silent killers for blackhats.
Another big hack saved, great work @m4rio_eth.
I wonder, when a hack happens everyone's run to get pr but when a Whitehat saves funds, no one is there to appreciate it.
$50,000 bounty payout to @m4rio_eth! π₯
Some time ago, he joined our podcast to share his journey βFrom Web2 to Web3β - and now, this $50,000 payout marks another strong milestone in that path.
Huge congratulations from the HackenProof team!
