ZK in the wild; this time improving transparency and integrity of public goods funding mechanisms.
You may wonder why and if this is novel given that there are some voting tools out there for private voting.
I'll explain why this is so special 👇

This magical tool built by @ezklxyz verifies Retro Funding allocation! All while retaining the privacy of badge holders.
This is exactly what zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography was designed to enable.
Try it out for yourself 👇

1/ the deeper i dive into the @ezklxyz ecosystem, the more i realise why its so necessary!
ezkl serves as a computational engine that performs inference on deep learning models and various computational graphs within the realm of zk-SNARKs (ZKML)
RetroPGF recipients, @ezklxyz have had the runway to continue to provide impactful work contributing to the success of RetroPGF.
A core component of RetroPGF is trust. It relies on the value-capturing entity to create fair categories and unbiased measurements of contribution.
So how do you build legitimacy in the result of a process that’s based on trust? You provide proof(s), I am so so hyped this collab is out!! 🔴✨

We are excited to demo retrofunding.ezkl.xyz, a webapp for verifying @Optimism's recent 30MM OP RetroPGF allocation.
• For badgeholders, check your vote was fairly counted
• For recipients, check your allocation was fairly calculated
• For everyone, social consensus!

Don’t trust, verify: An Overview of Decentralized AI Inference
Say you want to run a large language model like Llama2-70B. A model this massive requires more than 140GB of memory, which means you can’t run the raw model on your home machine. What are your options? You might jump…
We are excited to announce our partnership with @Optimism in verifying the integrity of the Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) initiative. For full details check out our blog post: blog.ezkl.xyz/post/retropgf.

We're now generating proofs that guarantee Optimism's retroPGF was run fairly -- all the while preserving the privacy of folks that voted in the round.
This is a great illustration of the power of ZK, in an event that considerably helped open source projects.

🙏 A big thank you to @ezklxyz for this incredible opportunity.
Being part of the Lilith beta program is not just about testing and benchmarking; it's about being at the forefront of a technological revolution in Verified Intelligence.
🚀 Super thrilled to announce that we are a part of the beta program for Lilith by @ezklxyz!
This high-performance backend system for zero-knowledge proof generation at scale is a game-changer.
Let's dive into why we're hyped!
🧵
zkML is still in the experimental stage, with most projects focused on building out infrastructure primatives and proof of concepts.
Challenges include computational costs, memory limitations, model complexity, limited tooling and infrastructure, and developer talent.

Update 5:
RetroPGF rewards contributors for development & adoption of Optimism — recognizing the unsung communities powering open-source.
To spotlight the integrity & legitimacy of the initiative, we have teamed up with @ezklxyz to improve process transparency with ZKPs.

Zooming out, we present historical lessons from AI & how they relate to crypto in section 3.2.
Takeaways:
1. ZKML will scale ( @ezklxyz@Ingo_zk )
2. We need more compute & data (counting on @akashnet_@rendernetwork, @bagel_network )

I just published my new report on Understanding the Intersection of Crypto and AI for @galaxyhq@glxyresearch
The report looks at three emerging verticals:
1) Decentralized Compute
2) Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (zkML)
3) AI Agents

"The system packages together repeated model inference proofs to demonstrate the accuracy of models either through simple bundling of small proofs and verification files or through meta-proofs of performance over model inference proofs"
It's so exciting to see the pace of…
