The Murky Proof System Waters: Part II

If you haven't done so yet check out Part I for the first part of this blog post, where we give some background on zkVMs and discuss the capabilities of a zkVM that we need or want a proof system to enable. Here, we continue by looking at

Nexus 2.0: Jolt, HyperNova, and a New SDK

We’re excited to announce the Nexus 2.0, the next iteration of our zero-knowledge machine. 2.0 is a major leap forward over last month’s 1.0 zkVM release, and introduces some key new components that are driving performance and efficiency gains: * A new prover frontend, powered by

The Murky Proof System Waters: Part I

At the heart of the every zkVM is a proving scheme that turns a trace of a computation into an efficiently verifiable proof of its execution. This choice of proof system is one of the defining design decisions for a zkVM – it impacts speed, security, interoperability, and suitability for a

Nexus raises $25M in Series A funding to bring zero-knowledge proofs to Internet scale

We’re excited to announce $25M in Series A funding co-led by Lightspeed and Pantera, with participation from Dragonfly, Faction, and Blockchain Builders Fund. This follows a $2M seed round led by Dragonfly in late 2022, with participation from Alliance, SV Angel, Blockchain Builders Fund, and others. Enabling the Verifiable

Introducing the Nexus Project

We are excited to introduce the Nexus Project, a scientific and engineering effort aiming to bring truth to the field of computation. We’re bringing to life a new form of compute: verifiable computation, and are powering it with open science and open-source software so it can benefit everyone. Our
