The #Chainlink DECO Sandbox is now officially open to the public 🏗️
The sandbox provides preconfigured use cases and a framework to empower financial institutions and Web3 developers to start innovating on compliant and privacy-preserving data solutions.

The Happy Lab is hiring multiple PhD students for Fall 2025! RT appreciated :-)
We discover how human factors can 1) mitigate ML-enabled abuse (deepfakes) and 2) be harnessed with ML-powered security to create safe, human-centric systems!
Find us at: happyresearchlab.com :)

New paper alert. This came out of @schollster and me being asked to write a survey on VOLE-based ZK. So we invited Samuel Dittmer and @wangxiao1254 to join us, because they (among many others) have also contributed a lot to research in the area.
#ePrint SoK: Vector OLE-Based Zero-Knowledge Protocols: C Baum, S Dittmer, P Scholl, X Wang ia.cr/2023/857
We construct a ZKSQL system that relies on VOLE-ZK. It enables a database to process SQL queries and provide the responses along with a zero-knowledge proof of correct execution.
The work is accepted to #VLDB2023.
We (@grant_xli, @CWeng15, Yongxin Xu, @jennie_rogers_ , @wangxiao1254) are thrilled to announce that our ZKSQL paper has been published to PVLDB Volume 16, No. 8. Please check our manuscript on vldb.org/pvldb/vol16/p1804-l…. See you at #VLDB2023 in Vancouver. @northwesterncs

Freeing up the labor force from distributing zero-knowledge protocols! Our paper Ou: Automating the Parallelization of Zero-Knowledge Protocols, gets accepted by CCS 2023. eprint.iacr.org/2023/657
Our maliciously secure dishonest-majority MPC protocol SuperPack will be presented in Eurocrypt 23 at 15:10 Lyon local time, April 26th. Shout-out to our proxy speaker Peter Scholl @schollster.

The research team at @chainlinklabs is embarking on a DECO mini-series.
We describe challenges in moving from an academic publication to a product, DECO use of an interactive ZKP core, and optimizations.
w/ @ethlorenz @SiamH @topliceanu @wangxiao1254 @CWeng15 @0xFanZhang
DECO enables users to prove something is authentic without revealing the underlying data, unlocking new primitives for smart contracts without compromising privacy.

The fifth and latest post in the ZKSeries by the @chainlinklabs research team is live 👇
#chainlink
@CWeng15 @wangxiao1254 @AlexCoventry4 @SiamH @topliceanu @0xFanZhang
In a previous blog, the @ChainlinkLabs Research Team introduced VOLE-based ZK protocols assuming there's a way to efficiently construct commitments.
In this post, they explain the transition from VOLE to commitments.
Discover how it works ⬇️

There exist more scalable ZKML protocols for designated verifiers in terms of proving time and memory. See our paper Mystique (eprint.iacr.org/2021/730.pdf), which is again powered by mpc.@ModulusLabs
We are so thrilled to finally be releasing: “The Cost of Intelligence: Proving Machine Learning Inference with Zero-Knowledge”💸🤖💸

Interactive zero-knowledge proofs of computations with very little interaction -- a few KBytes -- independent of the computation
This blog (1/2) by @chainlinklabs research explains how
#Chainlink @CWeng15 @AlexCoventry4 @SiamH @topliceanu @wangxiao1254 @0xFanZhang
This #ZKSeries post introduces the first of a two-part explanation of an efficient & scalable commit-and-prove ZK proof system that can process tens of millions of gates per second & handle large circuits while requiring minimal memory.
See the approach👇

Is it ok to forget after you commit to something? Yes! ... in zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)
w/ @wangxiao1254 @AlexCoventry4 @topliceanu Siam Hussain @0xFanZhang @CWeng15
#Chainlink
In this new post from the Chainlink #ZKSeries, researchers introduce commit-and-prove zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which can be used to reduce the space complexity of a ZKP protocol by recycling memory as the protocol proceeds.
