1) We present the first truly private, single-server zkSNARK delegation scheme for well-known group-based zkSNARKs such as Groth16, Plonk, and Nova. Our core idea is to delegate the prover’s most expensive computation—namely, the MSM—to a single server.

🪱 WORM Grant Campaign: Build the Next Generation of Mineable Coins The WORM team is excited to announce a Grant Program to support builders exploring the future of mineable-by-burning assets — a new category of crypto inspired by WORM’s “Proof-of-Burn” mining model. We believe WORM is just the beginning. If WORM is Bitcoin, your project could be Litecoin — or something entirely new. To kickstart this ecosystem, we’re offering: ✅ 3 Grants — $5,000 USD Each These grants are dedicated to teams or individuals who want to build new tokens that utilize Burned Ethereum as their mining fuel. Your project doesn’t need to be a fork of WORM, but it should embrace the same core idea: turn ETH-burning into a decentralized minting mechanism. Whether it’s a new token, a protocol layer, a privacy-oriented primitive, or a creative remix of the concept — we want to see it. 🧰 Who Should Apply? We’re looking for people who have: 1️⃣ Strong Solidity skills You should be able to build smart contracts confidently and safely. 2️⃣ Strong marketing / “Crypto Twitter game” A project is only as strong as its narrative. If you can build and meme, you’re exactly who we want. 3️⃣ A solid understanding of the WORM concept Read the docs, understand the mechanism, and be able to explain it clearly. Your project should meaningfully extend the “mine-by-burning” design space. ✉️ How to Apply Send an email to: keyvankambakhsh@gmail.com Include: * A short proposal for your project Why you're interested in building a burn-mined coin * Links (GitHub, Twitter, past work) * Your resume We’ll review submissions and reach out to selected applicants.
