.@internetarchive is using Filecoin to store historical records, cultural artifacts, and public data in a decentralized way. This reduces reliance on centralized storage and helps protect critical information from loss or censorship. Check out the infographic to learn more.

Client Side Proving and Verification with Valida While most ZK systems today are optimized for server-side execution, there is a growing need for client-side proving—where proofs are generated and verified directly on end-user devices. Use Cases Client-side proving and verification with Valida zkVM opens up a range of innovative use cases in blockchain contexts, including: - Trustless Light Clients for Blockchains: Users can verify blockchain state transitions without relying on a centralized server, enabling decentralized and trustless interactions. - Private Transactions: Users can prove the correctness of transactions without revealing sensitive data to third parties. - Decentralized Identity Verification: Users can prove their identity or credentials without exposing personal information to service providers. How We Implemented Client-Side Proving We compiled Valida’s execution engine, prover, and verifier to WASM using wasm-pack, enabling browser compatibility. Key optimizations: - Minimized memory usage to handle resource constraints. - Replaced panics with proper error handling for smoother UX. - Base64-encoded guest programs for easy embedding into apps Future Improvements: - Continuations: Breaking long computations into smaller chunks. - Usability Improvements: Enhancing the DevEx for client-side proving. - Edge Case Optimization: Ensuring performance in low-memory/power environments.

Dynamic scaling is the next frontier for chains. The Internet (TCP) pushes data reliably at a rate that saturates the network, by detecting packet loss. Blockspace should also scale dynamically based on network conditions, without requiring upgrades or config changes.
