@alt_layer has launched Wizard, a no-code platform for deploying and managing AVSs on @eigenlayer. Wizard simplifies a traditionally complex setup process into a fast, drag-and-drop experience. Users can choose templates, configure restaking strategies, and deploy contracts without coding. Designed for speed and accessibility, Wizard enables both beginners and developers to quickly launch scalable AVS projects: https://x.com/alt_layer/status/1905172001234485357…
AltLayer also announced new partnerships and developments, including:
• A collaboration with @AstarNetwork and @eigenlayer, with AltLayer integrating its MACH AVS into Sony’s OP Stack-based L2, @soneium. This solution reduces transaction finality from 15 minutes to 10 seconds, creating a decentralized, secure, and high-performance infrastructure: https://x.com/alt_layer/status/1912449838643544401…• With @Bird_Layer, bringing the BLITZ protocol to enable fast finality. BLITZ leverages the @babylonlabs_io protocol to use Bitcoin as economic collateral, allowing BirdLayer to become a Bitcoin Secured Network with enhanced security and access to idle BTC liquidity: https://x.com/alt_layer/status/1905571702366667109…
Lastly, @yq_acc, Founder of @alt_layer joined the @boundless_xyz House of ZK panel at @festival_web3 in Hong Kong, where @leofanxiong, Co-founder of @cysic_xyz, @no89thkey, Founder of @brevis_zk, and @sinka2022, Founder of @DelphinusLab, shared differing perspectives on how influence is shaped within the ZK ecosystem. Moderator @TinaLiu333, Head of Global Marketing at @RiscZero, guided the conversation with pointed questions about control over the ZK narrative: https://x.com/HouseofZK/status/1908802899196445054
@ZKVProtocol's Testnet has relaunched as the Volta Testnet. This regenesis resets the blockchain but keeps user balances, introduces $tVFY as the test token, and caps holdings to promote fairness. The upgrade enhances scalability, supports Plonky2 proofs, and streamlines the network's architecture. Named after Alessandro Volta, the testnet aims to power real-world ZK applications: https://blog.zkverify.io/posts/zkverify-testnet-regenesis-welcome-to-the-volta-testnet…
The project also shared an article in which concerns over AI’s lack of transparency are highlighted through real-world failures in finance, hiring, and law enforcement. The piece explains how ZKPs could allow us to verify AI decisions without exposing sensitive data. A system called zkVerify aims to make this scalable, offering a path to trustworthy AI: https://blog.zkverify.io/posts/ai-can-t-be-trusted-yet-here-s-how-we-fix-it…
Finally, @HouseofZK shared the full presentation from @Zk_Hub_Global where @rolfversluis, Developer Growth Lead at zkVerify, talked about insights from their online hackathon. He highlighted Web3 use cases like ZK leaderboards, private prescriptions, and anonymous micro-loans, and explained how zkVerify enables fast, low-cost proof verification through modular verifiers for high-volume applications: https://x.com/HouseofZK/status/1907778291823440253
@LumozOrg Chain migration, running from Feb 14 to Mar 15, has concluded successfully: https://mirror.xyz/lumozorg.eth/9npgIHitf-0hja1dK1mAI3cD5spRIG61MwqrejSb0FM… Users transitioned from @arbitrum to Lumoz Chain, moving nodes, licenses, and MOZ tokens. Over 74,000 nodes are now active, with daily transactions topping 2 million. The platform also introduced decentralized AI services and plans to expand with Compute Nodes and NFT cross-chain support to strengthen its Web3 AI ecosystem.
In addition, Lumoz shared an article detailing how its decentralized computing platform supports AI Agent management through smart contracts. Lumoz enables efficient, secure deployment on EVM-compatible chains, optimizing gas costs and decision storage. It supports agent registration, on-chain monitoring, and access control, while offering oracle and TEE services. Future plans include ZK integration, DAO governance, and enhanced cross-chain interoperability for broader AI Agent functionality: https://mirror.xyz/lumozorg.eth/shcDosJLj8RtEjmftPhYWzzA40wEurkFTZXt2cibsZ0…
Finally, Lumoz announced two partnerships:
• @RealBalanceFun: the integration of Lumoz’s decentralized AI and ZK technologies with Balance’s interactive AI agents aims to enable new forms of Web3 applications in social and gaming: https://x.com/LumozOrg/status/1903994257599553829…
• @QuackAI_AI: the partnership focuses on implementing AI-powered governance and automation tools. Lumoz will provide decentralized compute and verification, while Quack AI contributes solutions to improve the efficiency and transparency of the ecosystem: https://x.com/QuackAI_AI/status/1901909999103922301
@ElectronZK has announced a partnership with @cysic_xyz to speed up and reduce the cost of ZK-proof generation: https://x.com/ElectronZK/status/1912171947183554645…
By leveraging Cysic’s specialized ASICs, ElectronZK will optimize proof aggregation and lower computational demands. The collaboration aims to enhance scalability and efficiency of ZK technologies across sectors like finance and healthcare, strengthening blockchain-based solutions.
@RosuGrigore, CEO of @Pi_Squared_Pi2, shared that their first public blockchain mirroring prototype for @ethereum is now live, enabling stateless block validation without RPCs or full sync. They also began work on verifiable off-chain compute via TEEs, aiming to unify trust for both blockchain and AI workloads under a single verification layer. More demos are coming: https://x.com/RosuGrigore/status/1912162873180107214…
The project also published an article in which matching logic and the K framework are used to mathematically prove that program executions behave correctly: https://blog.pi2.network/matching-logic-and-mathematical-proofs-of-program-execution/… Instead of verifying entire systems, the method proves individual runs step by step, producing formal proofs that can be independently checked. This enables trustworthy tools across different programming languages.
@alignedlayer has presented an updated roadmap focused on building a full-stack solution for @ethereum as a financial backend: https://blog.alignedlayer.com/the-aligned-roadmap-ethereum-as-a-financial-backend/…
The plan includes the development of two ZK proof verification modes, the launch of Rollup-as-a-Service, wallet solutions, and interoperability tools. These updates aim to reduce costs, improve scalability, and offer convenience for developers building financial products on Ethereum. All services will be available through a unified stack.
The project also shared an article exploring alternatives to re-execution for verifying blockchain computations:https://blog.alignedlayer.com/alternatives-to-re-execution/… Instead of every node repeating the same work, methods like Interactive Proofs and Probabilistically Checkable Proofs use randomness and selective checks to verify results efficiently. These techniques, used in protocols like STARKs, support Ethereum scalability - something Aligned is actively working on through ZKP infrastructure.
@NovaNet_zkp has launched Proof Parties, a browser-based platform showing how ZKPs can work in real-world settings: https://novanet.xyz/blog/proof-parties-making-zero-knowledge-proofs-practical…
It enables collaborative problem-solving, privacy-focused verification, and low-resource blockchain integration. Designed for accessibility, it supports secure gaming, private voting, and anonymous transactions, making ZKPs easier to understand and apply across research, security, and consumer applications.
NovaNet will also take part in @HouseofZK 's Zero-Knowledge & Bitcoin College Tour in New York on April 26th.
The event, organized in collaboration with @NYUBlockchain, @YaleBlockchain, @BlockchainatCU, and @pton_blockchain, will feature industry leading speakers from projects like @AleoHQ, @ProjectZKM, @GOATRollup, @Edu_DAO, @LBank_Exchange, and @LazAINetwork.
