zkGM and welcome to our latest edition of the ZKM Newsletter, where we bring you all the key updates, highlights, and behind-the-scenes insights from our activities from the past month.
The ZKM team recently embarked on an exciting journey across Thailand, beginning with a strong presence at Invisible Garden in Chiang Mai. There, our team led workshops and engaged with the local Ethereum and ZK communities, delivering talks and educational sessions about the recent developments at ZKM.
Next, they made a significant mark at ZK Hub and DevCon in Bangkok, running booths, hosting panels, and delivering presentations. Our exclusive ZKM & GOAT Network merchandise was a big hit, sparking interest as we showcased key zkMIPS use cases. Throughout these events, Pavel Sinelnikov led multiple discussions on proving infrastructure, benchmarking standards, and other topics.
Chief Scientist Ming Guo also shared insights, participating in a main stage interview, discussions on zkVM design, and several other panels. Alice Liu tirelessly hosted interviews, adding value through engaging conversations with key figures such as Uma Roy, Brandon Kase, and Ismael Hishon-Rezaizadeh. Developer Lead Stephen Duan contributed through workshops and a panel focused on Bitcoin scaling, highlighting zkMIPS' potential in enabling L2 solutions like GOAT Rollup on Bitcoin. Additionally, ZKM Senior Researcher Lucas Fraga shared insights from the zkMIPS whitepaper during the WP Reading Club event, and Jeroen van de Graaf gave a presentation on ‘Cross-chain asset transfer without a bridge’.

The debut of House of ZK Magazine was well-received at ZK Hub, featuring contributions from ZKM's Chief Scientist Ming Guo, Kevin Liu, and others, alongside insights from Risc Zero, Aleo, o1 Labs, and more. The online edition of the House of ZK Magazine can be found at: https://www.hozk.io/magazine
House of ZK released an exclusive interview with ZKM Senior Cryptographer Jeroen van de Graaf, diving into cryptography history and his personal journey: https://www.hozk.io/journal/interview-with-jeroen-van-de-graaf-senior-cryptographer-at-zkm
The third installment of House of ZK's 'Is ZK the Endgame for Bitcoin?' series was published, exploring how zkMIPS, developed by ZKM, and GOAT Rollup are expanding Bitcoin's utility. The article highlights the capabilities of zkMIPS for pushing Bitcoin beyond its current limitations by using zkProofs to facilitate more efficient and scalable transactions, and in turn, enable mechanisms for sustainable yield generation: https://www.hozk.io/journal/is-zk-the-endgame-for-bitcoin-part-three
House of ZK recently published a comparative analysis of different zkVM architectures, focusing on RISC-V, MIPS, CAIRO, and custom ISAs. The article outlines the advantages and challenges of each approach, highlighting ZKM's zkMIPS as a key player in the evolution of zkVM technology and its role in building scalable blockchain solutions: https://www.hozk.io/journal/zkvm-architecture-a-comparative-analysis
ZKM is proud to announce our participation in the ZkBoost Consortium, a governing council of leading companies working together to build a universal API that connects all of ZK. This collaboration aims to enhance interoperability and accessibility for ZK and create a more cohesive ecosystem that benefits the broader blockchain space.

In a recent article by a leading researcher in the Asian community, insights into the perspective of ZKM CEO Kevin Liu were shared about the challenges faced by projects in the current competitive environment, particularly around point and airdrop mechanisms. The article provides a detailed look at ZKM's strategic approach to navigating these challenges while maintaining a commitment to genuine user engagement and sustainable growth.

At L2 Con and EF DevCon, ZKM's Ming Guo participated in panels discussing blockchain infrastructure and zkVM development. Our efforts in educating the developer community at House of ZK’s 'Zero-Knowledge & Chill' event in collaboration with Polygon, DablClub, and Edu DAO, and Pavel led a high-profile panel at the DevCon Tech Track with industry leaders from Scroll, Taiko, o1 Labs, and Lagrange.
ZK Spaces 04, featuring Pavel Sinelnikov, GOAT Rollup's Chaotic Beauty, and ZKM's DevRel Kyle Noome, centered around 'How GOAT Network uses zkMIPS to enable settlement on Bitcoin,' with some real alpha shared about GOAT Network's vision and technology. This session provided valuable insights into the roadmap and innovative approaches being adopted by GOAT Network and ZKM.
The recording can be found here: https://x.com/ProjectZKM/status/1862179777953632371
Look out for ZK Spaces #05, which will be announced in the near future.
The ZKM team has completed the focused training retreat and is now back to business as usual, ready to continue pushing forward with our mission. We're also preparing for upcoming events, including the next House of ZK Virtual Conference and a special event at Ethereum Denver.
