Odaily Planet Daily News ZK technology developer=nil; Foundation announced on X that it will launch its first Devnet, zkSharding MVP, at EthCC on July 7th. Meanwhile, interested parties can submit applications through the official provided link and have the opportunity to join a selected group of developers to test the Devnet first.

Odaily Planet Daily News Nil, the zero-knowledge proof development team, announced that co-founder Konstantin Lomashuk will serve as the new CEO of Nil, and former CEO Misha Komarov will instead take on strategic roles in the Nil ecosystem.

The Golden Finance reported that Nillion, a decentralized public network based on Nil Message Compute (NMC), announced that it will launch the testnet. Earlier news, Nillion completed a $20 million financing in December 2022, with DistributedGlobal leading the investment and AU21 participating.

Nil Foundation, the developer of ZK technology, announced the launch of the Type-1 zkEVM zkEVM1 compiled with zkLLVM on the X platform, and expanded to ETH through zkSharding. The zkEVM1 circuit is automatically compiled and compatible with Type-1 bytecode, making it easy to review and upgrade.

According to Golden Finance, ZK technology developer Nil Foundation said on social media that it has launched the Type-1 zkEVM zkEVM1 compiled by zkLLVM and expanded to ETH through zkSharding. The zkEVM1 circuit is automatically compiled and compatible with Type-1 bytecode, making it easy to review and upgrade.

PANews reported on November 7 that according to The Block, Nil Foundation, a blockchain cryptography company, plans to launch ZK-Rollup, a Layer 2 network using sharding technology on Ethereum. This Layer 2 solution, called "zkSharding", will act as a zkEVM. It aims to improve the scalability of Ethereum dapps by integrating multiple shards into a unified execution layer.

Odaily Planet Daily News ZK technology developer Nil Foundation released a "07.11.23" tweet on the X platform, or will release important news.

Nil Foundation, the developer of ZK technology, has announced the public release of a Rust circuit compiler built on the zkLLVM core. So far, zkLLVM has support for generating circuit definitions from C++, Rust is in beta mode, and with this latest release, developers can use Rust as the source code for circuit definitions. The main goal of the zkLLVM circuit compiler is to simplify the circuit development process while maintaining security. Instead of manually defining circuits using zk-specific DSLs (e.g., Cairo, Noir, Circom, etc.), developers can use well-known programming languages like C++ or Rust. zkLLVM can convert high-level source code directly into arithmetic circuits, and it also automates the process of circuit definition to a certain extent, which speeds up development and reduces the risk of manual errors in circuits.

According to news on September 15, ZK technology developer Nil Foundation and research company Taceo are collaborating to develop a software pipeline to use ZK technology to verify machine learning (ML) models on the Ethereum mainnet, enabling machine learning to operate in smart contracts without the need for Third party trust. The two parties will release the preliminary results and usability of zkLLVM in machine learning models in the fourth quarter of 2023.

According to PANews news on July 28, ZK technology developer Nil Foundation announced that Proof Market has integrated the Ethereum Sepolia test network to provide provable computing composability for all EVM applications. The beta version of Proof Market was released in January 2023. It was initially mainly used for protocols other than Ethereum L1. Its future use cases include zkML, zkOracles, zkBridges, fraud proofs, etc. It is reported that the Proof Market EVM endpoint makes provable computing compatible with EVM applications. These applications can not only use zkLLVM and Proof Market to simplify zkProof generation, but also integrate proof sorting natively into the application code of the Solidity language. Through this EVM endpoint, Ethereum assets can participate in provable computations and integrate Proof Market into any application pipeline that handles Ethereum liquidity.

Odaily Planet Daily News Nil Foundation issued an article stating that it has launched the Proof Market in Sepolia of Ethereum, enabling Ethereum applications to perform calculations in various ways on demand, including zkBridging, zkRollups, etc., providing computing composability for EVM applications. Potential use cases include machine learning, Ethereum data processing, data transfer, fraud proof, and more.

PANews July 25th, according to "Fortune" Fortune, cryptocurrency hardware manufacturer Fabric Cryptography announced the completion of a $6 million pre-seed round of financing, led by Metaplanet, Nil Foundation, Inflection, Novawulf and Era participated in the investment, the company's co-founder and CEO Michael Gao refused to provide valuation information for this round of financing, only revealed that the chip it is designing has indeed received an order worth $50 million and has signed a contract with a potential company The buyer signed a letter of intent for a deal worth about $100 million. It is reported that last week Fabric Cryptography also reached a cooperation with the ZK technology developer Nil Foundation to launch a decentralized market for encryption and outsourced proof generation.

Odaily Planet Daily News ZK technology developer Nil Foundation (also known as "=nil_ Foundation") has partnered with encryption hardware producer Fabric Cryptography to establish a decentralized market for encryption and outsourced proof generation, with the ultimate goal of promoting Faster, more scalable, more private and interoperable zero-knowledge computing.
