Gmmmmm Fellow Square Members🌄
Presenting the 4th episode of the #Aleo Pulse [Season 2], your one-stop hub for all things on Aleo, The first Fullstack blockchain powered by Zero Knowledge Proofs🚀
Let's begin with today's episode🚀
This Week's Updates
➡️The Community call was held last Wednesday at 20:00 IST @ Discord.
➡️The hosts were Viv and Howard Wu
🔵Howard is a co-founder of Aleo and is now the CEO of Provable
➡️According to Howard,
🟦The provable team is currently focused on building final requests for validators and stakers.
🟦The Provable team also consists of engineers who are working on Leo, Explorer and other UX-related tooling around Aleo
🟦The ZK-circuit design has now transitioned from the original ZEXE design, and now the Aleo Synthesizer is used.
🟦The audit report which was conducted by zkSecurity can be found in the blog.
🟦Although Aleo already has privacy which can be controlled by devs, the team is working on a solution to enable functional privacy a swell.
🟦When someone writes a contract on Leo, they generate circuits off-chain and then submit them on-chain.
🟦Provers are written on AVM bytecodes and then converted into mathematical polynomials.
🟦The consensus bug has been fixed🤩
🟦Now, the team is working on implementing ARC 37 and 38
🟦The team is working on rebuilding the coinbase mechanism
🟦Bullshark [a consensus algorithm, to keep things simple] and Narwhal [ an efficient BFT consensus] are used as they can,
1️⃣scale way better than BFT
2️⃣work is evenly distributed among validators
3️⃣Slashing is not required at the consensus level
I know it's a lot already, but hangon tight🦁
🟦All 4 validators on testnet3 remain operational, but some weird behaviour might occur as testnet3 uses the old consensus version.
🟦Aleo will become the first zkVM with privacy + programmability
🟦The team is also exploring the intro of custom lookups, and adding batch-verification
[batch execution has already been shipped]
🟦Aleo can store zkNFT's metadata on-chain, completely.
And, that's all for today :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask✌️
Do share this with our amazing #HotTrends Fam as well🚀
I'll see ya in the next episode🫡
Until then, LFG!
