Surpising that even in ZK circles, MPC is still considered ‘just threshold signing.’ Big miss.
MPC allows full computation on encrypted data eg for private defi or agents w/o exposing inputs. It’s makes ZK collaborative and goes far beyond what we know from wallets. Thoughts?

I think it shows, but I really enjoyed the @zkhack.dev meetup in Denver

We’ll be in Denver to hijack a corner of the @zkhack.dev meetup!
Come chill with us if you want to talk coSNARKs, coNoir, MPC generally, or to get your hands on some of the most notorious stickers in town 🔥

In a (long) tweet and an article, @taceo.bsky.social team first gave a quick refresher on what zkTLS is, and then presented how it can move beyond 2-party computation (2PC) – a TLS-MPC version with multiple parties.

How to Prove False Statements: Practical Attacks on Fiat-Shamir (Dmitry Khovratovich, Ron D. Rothblum, Lev Soukhanov) ia.cr/2025/118

We'll be at Ethereum Zurich next week to talk all things coSNARKs and private shared state! Let us know if you're in town, and would like to talk prog crypto and the future of privacy in Web3.

We had a great year. From bringing super optimized MPC protocols to the mass market and securing 9 million people's irises with World, to developing open source coSNARK tooling and building an alphanet for private proof delegation, it's been wild.

The Ethereum Foundation is running a cryptanalysis project focusing on Poseidon, with grants and bounties up for grabs!

✅Range checks in collaborative Noir
✅Support for asserts, and...
✅The first version of the Brillig VM in MPC!

Though still in early experimental stages, this is huge progress for private shared state in Noir

If you’re curious about the design and analysis of encrypted algorithms and encrypted databases, I’m putting together a collection of resources at encryptedsystems.org

CoSNARKs have been heating up since Devcon 🔥
and some of the leading ZK projects are currently onboarding to try our alphanet for private proof delegation.
There are a few slots left, so if you wanted to offload some proving in a privacy preserving way, our dms are open.

It worked!
Almost flawlessly!
1800+ people generated 15000+ coSNARKs!
Last week we established a coSNARK Alphanet with the Cursive team and PSE so that the Cursive Devcon app could privately outsource proof generation. More details:
blog.taceo.io/devcon-demo/

Last week at Devcon, I exhibited as part of Cursive's Cryptographic Connections museum. Inspired by the experience of generating coSNARKs on the Alphanet, I wanted to showcase the history of MPC, tracing the development of coSNARKs and TACEO tooling from their beginnings.

Hello and thank you for having me.
