Hylé

On the House of ZK podcast, Sylve gave a shoutout to Playmint and Topology, two companies that got onchain gaming right!

Hylé is thrilled to join forces as one of the pioneer companies behind the #zkBoost Consortium! 35+ companies with one shared goal: making trustworthy apps easy for developers and seamless for users. 💡The zkBoost Consortium is a collaboration of companies in the zk-proof space. We're building a unified API for outsourcing proof generation. The zkBoost API will act as a universal adapter for various proving systems, so you don't have to worry about technicalities anymore! ⚙️ With zkBoost, developers can focus on building provable apps without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. The API streamlines proof generation & compatibility. The Consortium empowers developers to choose the most efficient scheme without any bias. In the #zkBoost consortium, we're working alongside all the best ZK companies to offer the best possible unified API for proving services! 🧡 At Hylé, we’re passionate about building trust infrastructure. By natively proving zero-knowledge proofs, we help people reclaim agency and privacy. zkBoost takes us one step closer to a future where provable apps are easy to build. 𝐳𝐤𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭 & 𝐇𝐲𝐥𝐞, 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 1. Build your application. 2. Choose your proof system. 3. Call the unified API and let it deal with finding the right proving service. 4. Stop worrying about the underlying tech and focus on your users. We’re excited to be part of this journey and to contribute to the future of freedom and privacy! Stay tuned for more updates from the zkBoost Consortium! 🔥 https://lnkd.in/dCZ97MXp

💼 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. Wallets are the first touchpoint people have with blockchain technology. Your blockchain address is your identity, the hub where you receive funds and make transactions. Right now, there are two main models: 1️⃣ Externally Owned Accounts (EOA) 2️⃣ Smart wallets (account abstraction) But implementing account abstraction on Ethereum? Not easy. Only a few ecosystems, like StarkNet, have it running in production. The problem? Both models have glaring limitations. 🚧 Smart wallets are a great step forward, but they need to evolve. And that evolution comes from zero-knowledge tech. With ZK accounts, the execution of account logic happens offchain, with verification happening onchain. Essentially, accounts function as zk-rollups—efficient, scalable, and secure. At Hylé, zk accounts are native. No more EOAs or smart wallets—just zk accounts from the ground up. 🌱 Curious about the future of account abstraction and how Hylé is leading the charge?

💡 A 𝐳𝐤𝐀𝐩𝐩 generates ZK proofs. 💡 A 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐩𝐩 creates an output that can be proven. Whether the proof is done by the app or by an external prover or never actually generated, that's fine! Compatibility is key. Provability adds trust, privacy, and efficiency. You can add provability to existing apps without rewriting them entirely, and that's amazing! Any web2 app can become provable and allow for extra security with an « extra layer » without having to recreate the app from scratch. Let's infuse privacy and security into web2!

Yesterday, we shared Sylve Chevet interview on Daria Volkova's podcast. For anyone who missed it or prefers written highlights, here’s a quick recap! Hylé is building a network for the future of zero-knowledge (ZK). Instead of cramming ZK into traditional blockchains, we’re designing a decentralized network tailored for provable applications, giving you 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐲 by default. Hylé’s lean blockchain concept means slower devices can verify work done by faster ones, 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Sylve sees ZK expanding beyond blockchain, from ID verification to financial transparency. Want to learn more about the future of provable applications?

« We need more apps » and « We need more infrastructure » are not mutually exclusive. In ZK, we need more of everything, Matteo Mervoyer argues in the latest episode of the Hylé podcast! Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel! (Link in comments!)

« Our argument is that applications and rollups will become interchangeable. They will be the same thing. Rollups are apps, and apps are rollups. » Watch Lancelot's full talk: https://lnkd.in/eYuqeSVx

🎙️ The first episode of the Hylé podcast is OUT! In this episode, our host Alex Sirac talks with Matteo Mervoyer, Hylé’s first grantee. ♟Matteo has built a play-by-email provable games engine, leveraging zkEmail and RISC Zero for proof generation and Hylé for proof composition & settlement. Topics we cover include: ♟️ zkChess and provable game engines 🔮 The potential of provable apps ⛰️ RISC Zero and zkEmail ✅ Native proof composability on Hylé 🕵️ Witness encryption 📽️ Watch on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e93uFg5h 📖 Or read the highlights: https://lnkd.in/eFMNzkrP

ZK will be bigger than blockchains, but first, we need to gain critical mass ⛰️ Don't miss the first episode of the Hylé podcast with Alex Sirac and Matteo Mervoyer tomorrow!
