ZeroSync @ZeroSync_ announces the formation of the BitVM Alliance! We will work together to deliver the first BitVM bridges by the end of the year. Stay tuned!
Bitlayer @BitlayerLabs In continuation of our previous research on STARK, the Bitlayer research team has conducted a deep dive on the Binius STARK proof system. Our findings are as follows:
Previous STARK systems (252, 64, 32-bit) improved the encoding process yet continued to waste space. Binius employs compact bit-level operations, potentially positioning it as the next-generation STARK.
Binius boosts efficiency with binary field arithmetic, enhanced HyperPlonk checks, and small-field polynomial commitments.
Further optimization in binary multiplication, ZeroCheck, SumCheck, and PCS may increase speed and reduce proof size.
