🦾 Ariel Gabizon to advise on Liminal design and development 🦾 Ariel Gabizon joins Cardinal Cryptography in an advisory capacity to help the Aleph Zero team design an optimal privacy solution for the broader blockchain market. Aleph Zero’s Liminal technology, developed by Cardinal Cryptography and Nethermind, just got stronger. Ariel is one of the authors of PLONK, one of the most popular SNARK proof systems. More recently, he’s been focused on optimizing ZK-SNARKs for specific cryptographic-heavy operations. He is also known for discovering and helping to mitigate an unlimited counterfeiting bug in Zcash (covered by Fortune Magazine). Ariel received his Mathematics and Computer Science Bachelor’s Degree at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science, one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary research institutions based in Rehovot, Israel. He was also a Postdoctoral Researcher at several universities, including Columbia, UT Austin and Technion in Israel. Since 2016, he’s been heavily involved with blockchain privacy technology, starting as a Cryptographic Engineer at Zcash. Afterward, he moved to Protocol Labs and, ultimately, to Aztec Protocol, where he served as Chief Scientist for three years. 📥 Learn more 🐣 Share and retweet

🧜‍♀️ ETHWarsaw covers the journey of AZERO.ID 🧜‍♀️ Dear all, Today, the ETHWarsaw team published an overview on AZERO.ID growth journey — from winning last year's hackathon to successfully closing a pre-seed round. "AZERO.ID is more than just a domain service; it aims to create a unified domain standard for the whole Substrate ecosystem. Leveraging Parity’s XCM technology, they envision a domain that can be used across any Polkadot and Kusama parachain, as well as XCM-connected standalone chains. This vision has the potential to drastically improve blockchain UX, thereby lowering the barrier of entry for new users exploring the Web3 ecosystem." (...) "Furthermore, they received a significant grant from Aleph Zero which provided not just funding but also comprehensive support in research, marketing, legal, and fundraising. This collaboration demonstrates the extensive opportunities offered by the Aleph Zero Ecosystem Funding Program (EFP), especially to successful hackathon participants." 📥 Read the announcement 🐣 Share and retweet (ETHWarsaw) 🐣 Share and retweet (Aleph Zero)
