New website announcement: wprc.club One of the things i'm most proud of building is @WPReadingClub. we started as a small group of people who just wanted to sit down and actually read the papers behind the protocols we use every day. no pitch decks, no token talk — just the raw research. that turned into 8 city chapters, 69 sessions, 56 papers covered, and some of the best technical discussions i've ever been part of. the summaries and discussion notes our members write after every session are genuinely some of the highest quality breakdowns in crypto. better than most blog posts, better than most twitter threads. the problem was they were buried in google docs. hard to share, hard to discover, impossible to build on. that always bothered me. so we rebuilt everything into a proper home — wprc.club. every summary, every discussion note, every paper we've covered — all searchable, all public, all in one place. the knowledge our members create deserves to be seen. huge shoutout to @mrrongxin for everything he's done to keep WPRC running and growing. from organizing sessions to pushing the quality bar higher every time — this wouldn't be what it is without him. this is just the start. WPRC isn't a brand, it's a protocol for learning together. and we're only going to keep pushing it forward — more chapters, more contributors, more people who believe the best way to understand this industry is to read the damn paper.📄

#zkVMs need a benchmark challenge like #ARC_AGI is for #AI. Today, we're launching exactly that, this will serve as one of the core task for zkVM benchmarks in the future: Pessimistic Proof — a real-world zk workload used in @Agglayer, now benchmarked across zkVMs, featuring #SP1 @SuccinctLabs. #Risc0 @RiscZero, & #Pico @brevis_zk It’s Keccak-heavy, Merkle-tree intensive, and actually runs in production. Key takeaways ----------------- 🏁 #Risc0 has the lowest cycle count by a mile, which makes it the fastest to execute Pessimsitic Proof Program. 🟰 #SP1 and #Pico are very close in terms of cycle counts, meaning these Plonky3 based zkVms are similar in terms of execution performance. ⚡ #SP1 leads in GPU time — In the GPU Benchmark, #SP1 is the fastest, usually about 3/4 of the time of #Risc0. 💻 #Pico dominates CPU proving time — In the CPU Benchmark, #Pico is the fastest, about 2/3 of the time of #SP1. Results, flame graphs, reproducible code. PRs welcome! More charts below🧵

ZK will eat the world🌎 @zksync just dropped Boojum 2.0—a GPU-powered RISC-V zkVM, joining the elite club with @SuccinctLabs and @RiscZero that have GPU proving backend. The zkVM race is heating up fast! 🔥

Plonky3 of @0xPolygon Being the modular proving backend for most zkVMs out there, such as SP1, Pico, Openvm, and more, it truely enabled the use cases of verifiable compuation. And it’s just the begining.

My 2 cents on x402: - It is just a communication standard set to streamline the services to opt into crypto as the payment rail instead of credit card system. Without it, you can still just do it via P2P standard to inform of your wallet address as a vendor, and receive the payments, then settle the services. - The response code can be 402, can be 200 but with a metadata describing the next step to pay, could be anything, but the idea is to ask for service, respond with the price tag, and pay the price, then you get your service. If you swapped the blockchain part with just sth like a random @WechatPay, @PayPal, the user experience will still be the same. - Business in the states who usually have a complete business, credit card, KYB setup, with users all have access to credit cards won't have much upsides to x402, @stripe is already their fav platform, unless stablecoin adoption in the states becomes mainstream. - Business who has interests in launching their own stablecoin to farm T-bills, so that their payments operations suddenly becomes a for-profit product. (insights from yesterday's @WPReadingClub event) - Business that operates in less financial infra established markets could really benefits from this as onboarding as a service vendor that accepts crypto payments is literally PERMISSIONLESS, and anybody with a cellphone and internect could open up a payment wallet to start using the services. - Payments on x402 has no transaction fee needed but only some small gas fee regardless of the transaction amount. Unlike visa, mastercard, amex who charges from 2.5-3%. - x402 with Agents is an amazing upside, but it comes with preconditions, we are still 2 steps away: 1. step one is to have good and reliable agents who can actually do trades that won't hallucinate, predictable, and has a boundry/policy mechanism set for bounding behaviors. 2. step two is to have actual communication and trades between the agents 3. x402 will then become actual usable protocol for the A2A usecases. - The customizability of facilitators could open up web2 like payment experience that was not possible before on web3. It's all because of the "signed intent" that facilitators can settle onchain when they want to. It's like a check sent out waiting to be claimed. so when to upload the intent(from immediately all the way to couple days for security garantee), how they upload the intent(single or batched?), which ones to upload?(censorship ability if thats part of their business requirement), and more. One thing that's inevitably going to happen is more people are going to use crypto as the payment rails for its efficiency compare to everything else out there. The only problem is the onboarding atm, which is growing at an unstoppable rate. So don't sleep on x402, go build infra for it, build services on top of it, create modular monetized internet on top of it. g402

Congrats on the milestone! Another @0xPolygon Plonky3 based zkVM ready to help proof the world

I 🩷 @0xPolygon, It's been almost 10 months working at this company. And I really feel like we are really building the future, and also enabling everyone to build the future, together🤝

Honestly, through my journey in the space of zk technology, I think zkVM is the most impressive and important piece of technology. Back when everyone was focused on zkEVMs, there were pioneering teams such as @RiscZero building this ultimate zk Machine, aka zkVM. And earlier this year, the announcement of SP1 from @SuccinctLabs, which is built on top of @0xPolygon Plonky3, has proved its performance being hyper fast! And sometimes, compare to ASIC based zkVMs, these general purposed zkVM is also really capable and way more developer friendly, unleash new creativity. Now as services like Bonsai from Risczero, Prover network from SP1 coming into the scheme, I would only imagine there will be more and more applications trying to generate proofs for their services, and try to either commit to blockchain or even OUTSIDE of the space of blockchain such as verifiable inferencing of AI, providing proofs to web2 companies. Then which makes projects like @nebrazkp, @ElectronZK, those proof aggregation protocols really useful, cuz the more proof, the more needs for verification, cheaper verifications. Then these aggregation protocols will really shine. Then with these infrastructure, I wonder if the next zk trend will actually be solutions like #zkID, #zkML, #zkTLS to come into play in the space of blockchain or even pushing its way into web2 world, cuz these zk solutions, they are useful for blockchain, but not only for blockchain, they are much bigger.

Pessimsitic Proof of @Agglayer running in @RiscZero zkVM🔥 Running in CPU vs in GPU is day and night difference. 🫡 GPU is the way for Proof Generation I ran Risc0 zkVM using their GPU mode and OMG it took only 10% of the time that it took for Pico zkVM.

🧵 @Agglayer v0.3 is out. Most bridges still rely on “just trust us” vibes. This release finally flips the model: "don’t trust the bridge, verify the state." Let me walk you through what changed and why it matters 👇

Day 4 - Advance Your Polygon Dapp! We were very lucky to host team and community members from @CrustNetwork, @chainlink, @graphprotocol for awesome workshops! More than 700+ ppl joined! Event hosted by @0xPolygonDevs & @ChainIde & denglian live.csdn.net/room/weixin_32…

Aggregate Everything @Agglayer v0.3 is all about supporting multi-stack. Imagine a safe secure bridge, enabling interop among EVM chains, MoveVM chains, SolanaVM chains, and many more.

Big vibes for @0xPolygonMiden! Just met the zkVM god @bobbinth at @Agglayer AggCave. His @zkhack whiteboarding is still the gold standard—kicked off my verifiable computation obsession. Who’s jealous? Stay tuned to @0xPolygonMiden, programmable privacy is only one step away🫡

A quick summary of how to decide between Validium versus Rollup when deploying your L2 using @0xPolygon #CDK? Things about Validium: - Prioritizes Privacy: Uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for transaction privacy. - Off-chain Execution: Transactions occur off-chain, with only validity proofs submitted to Ethereum. - Data Availability: requires Data availability Committee (DAC), to guarantee the availability of off-chain data - Scalability: Offers high scalability by moving most processing off-chain. Can Process way more txns, not bounded by Blob Size. - Security: DA Committees failure will lead to state withhold. Things about Rollup: - On-chain Data Availability: Stores transaction data on Ethereum. - Off-chain Execution: computes off-chain as well - Data Availability: On-chain via L1 - Scalability: Aggregates transactions into single Ethereum transactions. - Security: As long as proof and data are submitted to L1, the security level is the same as L1. Now, tell us what you want to build using CDK🫡 (More indepth blog coming soon!)

Today, I found out that the founder of a hugely renowned zk company watched my Plonky3 tutorials to learn about it, and he liked them a lot. It’s surreal—earlier this year, I was in fact diving into their content to learn ZK myself. Moments like this remind me how life works in crazy, rewarding ways. Stay hungry. Stay foolish. Keep building, and you will find yourself progressed so far that you can build anything! 🚀 Some of the tutorials I have built for @0xPolygon Plonky3: - Plonky3 Introduction & Fibonacci Example: github.com/BrianSeong99/Plon… - Plonky3 Constraint Degree Introduction & RangeCheck implementation: github.com/BrianSeong99/Plon… More coming early next year! (#howtowritesimplezkVMinplonky3?)

Times like this. Buy More, Stake More, & $Prove More Cuz we believe in verifiable future

Pessimistic Proof of @Agglayer running in @brevis_zk Pico zkVM👀 (Their devx its soo good among the zkVMs I’ve used, love it) In case if you wonder, I ran it on a 32core cpu and 92g ram instance.

Super talented crowd with the best engagements. Great honor to help builders to build on @0xPolygon #Plonky3. Plonky3, like pytorch to building ai models, is a toolkit you can use to build zk systems. Learn more about the workshop content here: github.com/BrianSeong99/plon…

Bay Area’s truly the center of the universe 🤟 I’m a Starbucks diehard, but yesterday the sun was too good, so I roamed into a random Cupertino café to vibe. Then—boom—Korea’s blockchain buidler queen @ekang426 strolls in, flips open her laptop, and dives into work like it’s nothing. Not what I expected at all for my ordinary work day 🤣 As a Korean, I’m beyond proud — she’s a titan for K-buidlers, shaping our blockchain space like no one else. (She’s organizing @eth_seoul_ in next month, hop on the wave🚀

Spotting any similarities? TCP/IP—Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol—is the rulebook for internet communication. Every device, from your phone to a server, follows it to send data across the globe. It’s the invisible foundation that made the internet possible. @Agglayer—Aggregation Layer—an infra for blockchains to talk, share resources, and work as one. It connects and aggregates networks, powering interoperability, fast cross-chain txs, and liquid markets.

2025 will probabaly be the last year for me to talk about tech nerdy stuff only, building my understandings and experiences. From 2026 and onwards, will be all about using these nerdy tech for PMF and acquiring actual customers for a proper revenue stream in Crypto usecases.

Recently, I've been cooking 🧑‍🍳: - AggLayer Pessimistic-Proof architecture explanation doc - Benchmark PP using different zkVMs such as #SP1, #Valida, #R0, #OpenVM. Content will be live when @AggLayer v0.2 goes live🍷 High-level overview of wtf is Pessimistic Proof? AggLayer assumes every prover can be unsound. The pessimistic proof guarantees that even if a prover for a chain is unsound, that prover cannot drain more funds than are currently deposited on that chain. In this way, the soundness issue cannot infect the rest of the ecosystem. Stay tuned and see you onchain folks! (stealing the line from @provenauthority)

I had an amazing 3-hour @0xPolygon session with enthusiasts from @WPReadingClub last week during #Token2049. I was impressed by the quality and the number of builders—a cryptographer from @EspressoSys, the Vice President of Engineering from @chainlink, and more—they managed to bring together despite the crowded Token2049 events. They all came to genuinely learn and discuss Polygon technology.

This is by far the coolest gadgets, @0xPolygon themed🍎 Airtag, Credit to @shovelandstone 🙌

Had an absolute blast presenting @0xPolygon at @DecipherGlobal last weekend! 🙌 The crowd? Hardcore web3 pros from all the top Blockchain companies in Korea, shaping the future one block at a time 🧠💪. We went from ‘Polygon… isn’t that just PoS?’ to deep dives & whiteboard battles on #AggLayer, #CDK, & #Plonky3 in no time! 🛠️🔥 Feels like a huge win in kickstarting the Protocol Dev Community here in South Korea. 🚀👾🇰🇷 This was a private session, but will def host sth similar in Polygon R&D discord discord.gg/0xpolygonrnd soon, even more in-depth!

GM, its Sunday Vibe 🤌🌁

Do AI agents need identity? Yes—here’s the deal: No ID, no trust. They’ll get impersonated, dodge accountability, and spread chaos. Identity locks in security, stops fraud, and lets them play nice with humans and systems. Reputation matters too—especially in finance or Web3. Without it, they’re just smart ghosts. Not integrated into our society. Watch @provenauthority and their team build this out for humanity🫡 And take a guess what is that giant “🅱️” in her hand is for?🤣

When it comes to ZK performance, - @0xPolygon #Plonky2 was able to speed up so much back in the days with the choice of 64 bit field(Goldilocks) which reduces tons of workloads, breaking down the 256 bit numbers down to 64 bits. - @0xPolygon #Plonky3 was able to get even faster with a 31 bit field which made it able to access hardware acceleration instructions such as Avx2 efficiently. Now with #VPU: - RISC-V Processor On-Chip: On-chip RISC-V processor to reduce the communication between CPU & Co-processor. What does it mean? Basically instead of constantly communicating with the CPU to do compuation, your VPU can "think" of its own, which reduces tons of data exchange between the two. The data exchange rate limitation of bus line between the two is mitigated. - Memory Bottleneck Elimination: ZK Proof requires a ton of Matrix computation, which requires constant access to data on memory. Adding a memory component on-chip makes memory access a lot faster and cheaper. - Support for Recursive Proving: One an execution trace is generated, proof can be generated in parallel with the technics such as Recursion, Continuation, and more. An example is @RiscZero's continuation and parallel proof generation. Now in VPU, these technics can be used in hardware level. - Custom VPU Instructions: Last but not least, the interface to access VPU resources in software level. Curious to see how the interface will look like! With optimized software and optimized hardware delivering to the market, Plonky2/3 will be fast and easy to adopt by all projects. Making ZK more accessible by developers.

I love bullish contents ⚔️

My Confession: How @0xMiden and @bobbinth Sparked My Zero-Knowledge Journey Two years ago, I stumbled upon a whiteboarding session by @bobbinth on @zeroknowledgefm. That moment was a revelation. Bobbin, the godfather of zkVMs, broke down the concept with great clarity. What started as curiosity eventually spiraled into a deep dive down the zkVM rabbit hole(Back then there were only RiscZero zkVM, Miden zkVM, and Lita zkVM using Plonky3). This journey really reshaped my career and landing me in the field of zero-knowledge at @0xPolygon. The real magic, though, has been watching the @0xMiden team build something extraordinary. From its roots as an early-stage zkVM, Miden has evolved into a privacy-first, parallelized, UTXO-based blockchain that’s not just innovative—it’s a pioneer. Designed for mass adoption, it’s tackling use cases that could redefine how we think about privacy and scalability in Web3. Pretty mind blowned. It’s bittersweet to see Miden spinning off. The team—led by visionaries like @bobbinth, @schmiddominik1, and @phklive and others—has poured their hearts into this project, and their impact will echo in the ZK space for years to come. While it’s sad to see them go, I’m all in on supporting Miden’s next chapter. Through @Agglayer and every other avenue, I’ll be cheering them on as they continue to innovate and inspire. Here’s a toast to the Miden team, to zero-knowledge, and to the relentless pursuit of a more private, scalable future. 🍻

It was totally unexpected that our project #AleSign would have won the competition at @AleoHQ #zkHouse in #SBC Built by Husky Students @brianseong and @HeeJu_K. What is #AleSign? ————————— AleSign is a Contract Signing Service on Aleo that provides: 1. Confidentiality for the signer 2. Persistence storage of the contract file 3. Promise the authenticity of the signers How does it work? ————————— 1. Users upload the file/contract to sign to @ceramicnetwork for persistent Contract file url 2. Each Users would authenticate their ID, information, and more using kyc services like @kycdao and the approval respond will be used as a private parameter in Aleo 3. Sign the contract with User A’s KYCDAO response and contract url 4. User B will sign the contract with User B’s KYCDAO response, contract URL and transaction ID from step 3 5. The final result will be a transaction record with UserA sign record, userB’s signature, and contract included. This was a quick ideathon result but certainly opened up my imagination on what you can do on Aleo blockchain!

<Range Checks in @0xPolygon #Plonky3 & Constraint Degree> Zero-Knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are paving the way for privacy-preserving technologies and blockchain scalability, and an important part of that is range checks — verifying values are within a certain range without revealing the actual data. In this detailed tutorial, we explore: 1⃣ Multiple range check implementations in #Plonky3 Whether you’re building #zkVM, improving privacy in transactions, or enhancing the efficiency of proof systems, this guide offers a step-by-step breakdown of how to implement range checks tailored to different finite fields and optimization levels. 2⃣ Constraint Degree & Intermediate Variables In #zk, constraint degree is crucial for performance. The degree of a constraint refers to the highest degree of any polynomial constraint in the system, and lower degrees allow for faster proof generation and smaller proof sizes. In the tutorial, we demonstrate how to reduce constraint degrees using intermediate variables, which break down complex, high-degree constraints into simpler ones. 🌟Here’s what you can expect: - 01:48 Introduction to Range Checks in ZKPs - 04:17 Mersenne31 Field Range Check Implementation - 22:10 Babybear & Goldilocks Field Range Check Implementation - 35:51 Introduction to Constraint Degree - 39:08 Optimized Babybear Field Range Check Implementation, inspired by #SP1 implementation from @SuccinctLabs - 40:47 Introduction to Intermediate Variables - 49:18 Final Thoughts and Open Challenges

How can I (as a chain/L2 builder of any chain) connect to #AggLayer to access the '#UnifiedLiquidity' so that I DON'T have to bootstrap liquidity and Just need focus on the usability, applications, etc? Examples of currently supported and potential future designs.

In the alt-VM L2 future, seems like only @AggLayer will be able to support them as long as they can produce Pessimistic Proof. - Super Chain @Optimism requires L2s to be built in op stack - Elastic Chain @zksync requires L2s to be built in zk Stack - Gwyneth @gwyneth_taiko requires based rollups to be EVM equivalent and use the same storage tree format Thoughts?🧐

Per base<->solana bridge. @Agglayer had this design way back in the days, - Bridge Exit Merkle Trees maintained per-chain - Merkle Root synced across all Agglayer Connected Chains - Claimable permissionlessly - Execute message after claim to call any contracts. github.com/BrianSeong99/Aggl… - secured by zk - modular design to connect multi-chain that comes in all shapes - FAST INTEROP coming at the end of this year. And soon to help base and solana devs to connect to more than just two of them but all chains Bullish only 📈

Here’s the fantastic four of zk soon verifiable TM

Who’s hyped for the #zkVM future? 🙋🏻 @danielmarinq and @0xJuliechen are all in—100% stoked for what’s coming. Who’s with us on this Verifiable ride?

After reading @eigencloud's whitepaper, I realized how far ahead they were in terms of the verifiable computation problem space. #Intersubjectively docs.eigenlayer.xyz/assets/f…

Meet🥚EggSwap: Cross-Chain ( Bridge + Swap ) Cross-chain Token Swap Dapp Example on @Agglayer Forget manual swaps after bridging, with @Agglayer Unified Bridge we can merge both into a single atomic transaction. Made with 💜 by @0xPolygon DevRel @gada_akshat

Unify Bridge Workshop Last week at AggSummit @AggLayer Agglayer Unify bridge is the infra that help facilitate Cross-chain communication on AggLayer, it supports: - BridgeAsset & ClaimAsset: token transfer interface - BridgeMessage & ClaimMessage: cross-chain data transferring interface - Bridge-and-Call: interface to call any smart contracts on any chain that's connected to AggLayer. Here's a complete explanation of the infra, its source code, it's architecture, and how to use it. github.com/BrianSeong99/aggl… Happy coding🤌

I crashed on @Agglayer, ended up settling here. One piece of advice, if you have agglayer queries, just comment in this tweet, I’ll be your AggGPT

Rug by @united 2 hours delay but more time to spend with friends @arnavshahh @CyCyhotpot Ready to meet everyone at @0xPolygon offsite🫡

This is why we love #opensource Bullish🔥on the verifiable future enabled by zkVMs! Congrats on launching a new zkVM @axiom_xyz

Use any dapps from any chain on @Agglayer

This is a GUCCI thread on @AggLayer

Every chain will be fast by the end of 2025, PoS with no exception, with a fast @Agglayer bridge. Do you see the big picture here? When speed is not a problem, when interop is not a problem, when UX is not a problem, then MASS ADOPTION of Web3🚀
