A new paper co-authored by Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin highlights the use of zero-knowledge proofs as a tool for regulatory compliance and on-chain privacy. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has published a research paper diving into privacy pool systems as a tool to achieve more privacy in financial transactions, allowing users to prove dissociation from illicit funds through zero-knowledge-proof…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says node centralization is one of Ethereum’s main challenges but the perfect solution may not come for another 20 years. The centralization of nodes is one of the biggest problems facing the Ethereum network and should be addressed by making the running of nodes cheaper and easier, according to Ethereum co-founder…

Polygon Zero has accused Matter Labs of copying significant code from its Plonky2 library to zkSync, a rival Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution. Polygon’s zero-knowledge scaling arm, Polygon Zero, is accusing developers of Matter Labs of copy-pasting “a substantial amount of source code” from its Plonky2 library, according to an announcement on Aug. 3. The allegedly plagiarized code was…

Transactions on Optimism recently eclipsed the Arbitrum network, but do the project’s fundamentals support a sustainable growth trajectory? Optimism is a layer-2 scaling solution that operates as a separate blockchain built on top of Ethereum. Despite having a smaller total value locked (TVL) than its rivals, Optimism may still have the potential to thrive in the increasingly competitive…

ZK-proofs could help online privacy by only revealing relevant user information, solving the internet’s “biggest problem,” says Brennen Schlueter. Zero-knowledge proofs could be used to solve the “biggest problem” plaguing the internet today: privacy, according to one cryptocurrency executive. Speaking with Cointelegraph at the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) the marketing chief at privacy-focused infrastructure platform…

Prominent Ethereum development firms have rolled out varying zero-knowledge scaling solutions that drive healthy competition in the ecosystem. An environment of healthy competition is being fostered between the Ethereum ecosystem’s top development firms building zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVMs) to scale the network, according to one of Polygon’s co-founders. Jordi Baylina, technical lead of Polygon Hermez zkEVM,…
