Snarkify @ ZK Hub — Snarkify Room
Heads up! Registering here helps you keep the talk on your calendar for easy planning. Don’t forget to request your free event ticket from ZK Hub websiteto complete your attendance!
Join us at ZK Hub before DevCon. ZK Hub is the premier gathering for Zero-Knowledge projects, where innovators come together to educate, share progress, network, and immerse in the ZK community vibes.
Snarkify Room is where we’ll build a discussion program on all the content we present during ZK Hub + networking.
🗓️ Nov 11
🕙 14:00 - 18:00 PM
📌 Naypyidaw Room
14:30 PM - Open Discussion on End-to-end zkEVM Proving
Open discussion of end-to-end infrastructure for zkEVM proving that provides proving works for Scroll Mainnet and Scroll SDK customers.
15:30 PM - Talk: Implementing Sirius for Folding-based zkEVM
In this talk, we introduce the pioneering folding-based zkEVM developed using the Sirius folding library. With the full compatibility of Sirius with the Halo2 frontend, we successfully integrated an off-the-shelf zkEVM circuit with minimal modifications. Our approach leverages a folding scheme to eliminate the multi-layered proof compression and aggregation costs inherent in current zkEVM designs. We will also discuss the implementation of new features like protogalaxy and especially cyclefold, which are poised to enhance proof efficiency and scalability within this zkEVM framework. This innovative design offers promising potential for further optimization in zkEVM applications.
16:30 PM - ZPrize 2023 & Proving Algorithms Acceleration
Open discussion for ZPrize 2023 and acceleration of proving algorithms with Niall Emmart.
