a16z Crypto has released a zkEVM solution called Jolt, aimed at enhancing the speed and simplicity of blockchain scaling operations. Jolt utilizes SNARK zero-knowledge proofs to provide a framework for EVM-compatible Rollups, allowing developers to create SNARK-based L2 solutions. Jolt significantly improves performance by converting computations into specialized polynomials and efficiently generating proofs using the sumcheck protocol, making it twice as fast as existing zkVM solutions. Technical advantages of Jolt include more compact circuit designs, efficient pipelining, and ample parallelization, optimizing the usability and availability of zkVM and aiding in shortening development cycles and improving user experience.

The article discusses various implementations of cross-chain technology, including chain abstraction protocols, cross-chain bridges, interoperability, and full-chain concepts. With the increasing number of public chains, the demand for cross-chain solutions has surged, leading to the emergence of technologies such as multichain and celer bridge. The article emphasizes the importance of abstract accounts, which allow users to manage all their assets across different chains with a single wallet. Chain interoperability enables the transfer of information between different chains, facilitating functionalities like full-chain lending and cross-chain governance. Chain abstraction eliminates the need for users to concern themselves with the specifics of underlying chains, simplifying operations. The article also introduces several important cross-chain projects, including LayerZero, Wormhole, Axelar, ZetaChain, Polyhedra, Particle Network, and dappOS, each employing different technologies to achieve cross-chain func

The OMNI network is an interoperability protocol across various Rollups, serving as a Layer 1 public chain and the first AVS (Arbitrum Verifier Shard) on the Eigenlayer. OMNI leverages heavy staking on the Eigenlayer to share Ethereum security and utilizes Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism to process a high volume of transactions while maintaining low latency.

There are various types of cryptocurrency wallets, and this article will introduce their characteristics along with the advantages and disadvantages, such as cold wallets, hot wallets, custodial wallets, non-custodial wallets, and multi-signature wallets, etc.

After EIP-3074, a faulty signature could deplete the balance in your Ethereum account. The article elaborates on how wallets integrate EIP-3074 and explains the specific ways it could make users more vulnerable and the underlying mechanisms, aiming to prevent irreversible mistakes.

LTO Network is a hybrid blockchain platform for creating and managing decentralized workflow applications.

This article showcases Sending Labs' development of a decentralized communication protocol stack designed to overhaul the traditional TCP/IP model, tackling its centralization flaws prevalent in the Web2 era. The revamped protocol allows for peer-to-peer communication via wallet addresses, boosting security, privacy, and giving users increased control. It promises an unlimited provision of IP addresses, cuts out the need for centralized CAs, and integrates essential protocols such as DNS into the blockchain. The protocol also promotes setting up personal routers to foster a decentralized physical infrastructure and imbues network communication devices with financial characteristics that tie directly to blockchain accounts. Detailed strategies for decentralizing the network, transport, application, and physical layers are explored.
