Virtual Machines (VMs) are the cornerstone of modern computing, enabling the abstraction of hardware resources and creating isolated environments for running software. Whether it’s running multiple operating systems on a single machine or providing a framework for blockchain and cryptographic systems, VMs allow for a high degree of flexibility and control. In our previous blog, we introduced the concept of Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines (ZKVMs) and explored their significance in enabling secure and priv...

Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines (ZKVMs) are an exciting evolution of traditional VMs. A ZKVM is a VM with an added superpower: it can prove computations happened correctly without revealing the data behind them. Imagine proving that you solved a math problem without showing the actual solution — it’s magic, but backed by math! What Exactly is a VM? A Virtual Machine is a simulated computer running inside another computer. It’s not a physical device but a software-based entity that behaves like a real com...

Currently, token holders over in L1 are hesitant for voting in DAOs. And the main reason behind this is gas fees. To solve this problem, I worked on the project Interchain DAO with Hyperlane. Hyperlane is the first universal and permissionless interoperability framework built for the modular blockchain stack. You can deploy Hyperlane to any chain and make it interoperable between different chains without anyone’s permission. There are multiple types of Governor contracts that you can use to create a DAO...
