What if @ethereum could verify ZK proofs itself, so rollups and apps wouldn't need to run their own verifiers?
This could be achieved through native proof verification.
And we've made some progress there over the past month: the draft for EIP-8357 was merged, and a native rollup is now running on a devnet 👇
There's still work to do before native rollups can run on Ethereum.
L1 needs leanVM, frame transactions, EIP-8288 and EIP-8357 included in a fork.
But with the first pieces coming together and a working devnet to experiment with, we're getting closer.

@SuccinctLabs disclosed an SP1 bug, but onchain Groth16 and Plonk verification through Solidity verifiers was unaffected by this issue.
The bug affected native Rust verification. Here’s how our ZK Catalog helps you tell the paths apart 👇
Succinct patched its Prover Network, with no integration changes needed from requesters for that update.
Teams separately running the affected native Rust verifier need to upgrade to v6.8.1.
When checking a vulnerability, follow the application’s verification setup and compare it with the disclosure’s scope.

Most DAO voting happens in public - you can look up a wallet and see exactly how it voted, which allows for bribery and voter pressure. In real-world elections, the secret ballot is an internationally recognised standard that exists to prevent exactly that.
@theInterfold CRISP tries to solve this for onchain voting by keeping individual votes private while making the final results public.
We've added it to the L2BEAT Privacy dashboard. Here's how it works and who you need to trust 👇
Here’s the summary:
Individual votes are hidden from public and network observers.
A chain analyst may still be able to infer some votes, and a future adversary could potentially reveal them. Privileged insiders have a more direct path.
@theInterfold CRISP is live on mainnet, although it's still early. The operator set is in its initial stage, and there have only been a handful of votes so far.
