Paper accepted at IACR CiC: "Embedded Elliptic Curves and Embedded Families for SNARK-Friendly Elliptic Curves", by our CSO @SimonMasson2 and A. Guillevic (Inria). With EIP-2537 live since Pectra, embedded curves are the natural fit for on-chain ZK. Time for protocols to upgrade.

Post quantum signatures on ethereum execution layer aren't theoretical anymore, they're running on sepolia with hardware wallet support today.
Congrats to @SimonMasson2 and the Kohaku team from @ethereumfndn for what might be the most consequential work happening right now. Proud that @Wonderland is building with Kohaku.

To conclude an intense week which enshrined privacy in Ethereum with Kohaku wallet (@ncsgy), we hacked at @ethglobal with @RAILGUN_Project . Our FROSTGUN team ended up with 1st Ledger HW integration prize. @_zy0nn @BTChip @SimonMasson2 @RenaudDUBOIS10 - ethglobal.com/showcase/frost…

Joint work with Linea and Alpen Labs to reduce ECC proving time. This is the opportunity to update protocols to bls12-381 without extra proving cost.

Privacy, ZKNOX has your back ! Here is the fastest in circuit ECC over Pectra incoming BLS scalar field with implication on RAILGUN like schemes. We are honored to count among us @SimonMasson2, a Bandersnatch designer. Check our latest post : zknox.eth.limo/posts/2025/04…
My own current privacy roadmap (much lighter on L1 changes, but also more limited in its consequences): ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-m…
Highly encourage people to read both!

Introducing ZKNox - a new venture by cryptography, hardware and security experts @BTChip, @renauddubois10 and @simonmasson2. We plan to accelerate on growing the crypto ecosystem, with a strong focus on defensive technlogies and decentralization.

Congrats to 🎓Dr. Simon Masson (@SimonMasson2) for successfully defending his PhD thesis "Algorithmic of curves in the context of bilinear and post-quantum cryptography"!🍾🎉👏 Thousands of possibilities for your future, as many as the branches of this tree.
