RiB Newsletter #46

Welcome to the #46 edition of Rust in Blockchain, the monthly newsletter about Rust, distributed systems, cryptography, and other industry topics. Previous: #45.

 

Thanks

Thanks to contributors: Andrew Dibble, Brian Anderson and Aimee Zhu. Thank you for your help!

RiB needs help to keep up with Rust blockchain projects. If you follow a particular project, or otherwise find information that is beneficial to the Rust & blockchain community, please contribute to the next issue by submitting a PR to the next draft.

 

Project Spotlight

Each month we like to shine a light on a notable Rust blockchain project. This month that project is…

Kind is a lazy, functional, but non-garbage-collected language, in the spirit of Haskell. It runs on HVM, the “Higher-order Virtual Machine”, and is based on a model of computation called Interaction Nets. It features automatic parallelism and is said to be “beta-optimal”, in some cases resulting in faster performance than Haskell’s GHC.

They are components of Kindelia, a proof-of-work computation network that is not backed by a cryptocurrency.

  • zkPoEX enables white hat hackers to report live vulnerabilities in smart contracts while maintaining the confidentiality of the exploit, facilitating efficient communication and collaboration between hackers and project owners for a more secure DeFi ecosystem.
  • EZKL is a library and command-line tool for doing inference for deep learning models and other computational graphs in a zk-snark.
