PLONK CaféResearch Papers
Turbo-PLONK
Turbo-PLONK initiated the use of arbitrary arithmetic custom gates, whose possibility was alluded to in the original PLONK paper. This enabled breaking further away from the efficiency limitations of traditional R1CS, for example in the performance of elliptic curve operations.
Who Is Talking About Us?
Vitalik Buterin
@VitalikButerinAZTEC is getting into the ZK ZK rollup game.
https://medium.com/aztec-protocol...
Outer ZK: hundreds of TPS on mainnet
Inner ZK: every one of those txs is private Layer 2 scaling and privacy is coming.
Layer 2 scaling and privacy is coming.
Spencer Noon
@spencernoonStarting to believe @aztecprotocol could be one of the biggest product launches on ETH in a long time.
After @VitalikButerin et. al complete the MPC ceremony, users will be able to leverage private operations seamlessly on @metamask_io:

@drakefjustinToday at ZkSummit Zac and Ariel (@Zac_Aztec, @relgabizon) presented Ultra PLONK that can represent a 512-bit Pedersen hash in a mind-bending 64 gates Exploding head This is a potential game changer for witness compression, among other applications.

@sassal0xI think many people are sleeping on privacy/scaling solutions like @aztecprotocol & @StarkWareLtd because the tech can be hard to understand.
The tools being built by these companies and others like them will allow us to take Ethereum apps to the next level!
