1/ If you love ZK as much as we do, you probably need regular dose of its power. Here it is with the latest updates!
• First up: @zksync Airbender, aiming to be world's fastest open-source RISC-V zkVM (6x faster than rivals)
🔗 x.com/zksync/status/19375877…
x.com/eth_proofs/status/1938…
breakthrough by @thezkcloud :)
→ Fetching Ethereum block data to feed into zkVMs used to take minutes.
→ ZkCloud slashed that by 1,000x — from hundreds of seconds to hundreds of milliseconds.
→ The trick? A custom fetcher using Reth's debug_executionWitness. Open source soon™.
Time spent outside proving for block 22,795,300:
🥇 ZkCloud: 3s 😎
🥈 Succinct: 117s
🥉 Cysic: 298s
4️⃣ Brevis: 311s
5️⃣ Snarkify: 317s
6️⃣ ZKM: 365s

Every project claiming to be a Bitcoin L2...isn't telling the whole truth. To inherit Native Bitcoin Security, you need a live bridge imbued with state-of-the-art BitVM tech.
Introducing GOAT Network BitVM2: A game-changer for Bitcoin, and a secure path to real, sustainable BTC Yield.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1) GOAT BitVM2 shortens the original 14-day challenge period of BitVM2 down to less than 1 day, outpacing all other publicly verifiable BitVM and BitVM2 architectures on the market.
2) A huge part of GOAT Network’s mission is to contribute to the greater Bitcoin community. With that in mind, we have made the GitHub repos for our BitVM2 testnet open-sourced. You can review those repos here: github.com/GOATNetwork/BitVM
+
github.com/GOATNetwork/bitvm…
3) We are now publicly recruiting challenger nodes to help test the system. Anyone can apply to become a challenger here: forms.gle/KRNiyUBg6ECd1bt98.
To try out our BitVM2 Bridge in Testnet, visit: bitvm2.testnet3.goat.network

1/ So, what’s new in the ZK world?
🔐 Security alert: hackers got a hold of $5M in ZK tokens after compromising a ZKsync admin account. The team reassures that all user funds are safe and have never been at risk
🔗 cointelegraph.com/news/zksyn…
x.com/zksync/status/19121411…
ZKsync security team has identified a compromised admin account that took control of ~$5M worth of ZK tokens — the remaining unclaimed tokens from the ZKsync airdrop. Necessary security measures are being taken.
All user funds are safe and have never been at risk. The ZKsync protocol and ZK token contract remained secure, and no further ZK is at risk.
This is an isolated incident caused by a compromised key and confined to the ZK Token airdrop contract.
The investigation is ongoing, and a detailed update will be shared later today.

1/ Well how about the Superchain itself, @Optimism?
Not just another L2, but a network of OP Chains, the future of Ethereum scaling:
