a16z Deep Dive: How to Properly Understand the Threat of Quantum Computing to Blockchain

The timeline for the threat of quantum computing to blockchain has been exaggerated; we are still far from cracking Bitcoin and Ethereum. The real urgency lies in defending against "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks and addressing the governance and implementation security vulnerabilities within blockchain itself.

Succinct Labs launches the Ethereum interoperability protocol Telepathy based on zkSNARKs

ChainCatcher news, Succinct Labs announced the launch of the decentralized zkSNARK interoperability protocol Telepathy on the mainnet for Ethereum. Telepathy is built using zkSNARKs, allowing developers to achieve trustless communication from Ethereum to any other chain through the security of the Ethereum light client protocol. The core innovation driving Telepathy is the "consensus proof," a zero-knowledge succinct proof of the Ethereum light client protocol that enables gas-efficient on-chain light clients to run on any chain.
