.@Ingo_zk presented ICICLE-Halo2 v2, a new fork of ezkl-halo2 with up to a 25x performance boost. Based on the popular Halo2 zk-SNARK originally by ZCash, this version brings GPU-accelerated improvements applicable to other versions like zcash-halo2, pse-halo2, and axiom-halo2. 3/

📢 Introducing ICICLE-Halo2 v2 Our almost-native GPU, blazing-fast Halo2-EZKL Fork. 🏎️Technical writeup: 👩‍💻Code: 🧑‍🍳Chef: @0xemirsoyturk | huge thanks to @ezklxyz !

Went over these last night, amazing content. Would recommend for any aspiring zk devs to go through these

First 3 lessons just dropped! From us, with 💛 Start learning👉 Big thanks to all beta testers!

🚀 IMP1 Update: Batched-Proving now works on mobile (Android + iOS)! 👉Simple API 👉Benchmarked on @zkp2p workloads (~40 small proofs per run). Measured up to 1.75× speedup vs running single proofs individually Try it here:

🚀 ICICLE v4 Release Notes 🚀 ICICLE is a math library for cryptographers. Crafted with ♥️ and hardware acceleration in mind! 👉Start here: What's New in v4? This version introduces two significant enhancements: 1. Lattices: Unleash new possibilities in lattice-based cryptography, offering advanced capabilities and optimized performance. 2. DevEx Improvements: Experience enhanced developer productivity We encourage all existing users to upgrade and enjoy more ways to write cryptography, and with style! Implement on your CPU and watch how your code seamlessly executes natively on GPUs and mobile devices. Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: ICICLE thrives thanks to the invaluable and continuous feedback from our users. We’re privileged to collaborate daily with exceptional researchers whose insights fuel our progress. When you suggest, we deliver. Simple.

🚀 Case Study: Fermah x ICICLE How Fermah scaled Confidential Proving Delegation (CPD) with GPU acceleration, powered by ICICLE @fermah_xyz is a universal proof market, connecting hardware, including CPUs and GPUs, with apps that need zero-knowledge proofs. It supports all major proof systems (zkVMs, zkEVMs, Groth16, and more) across any blockchain. But introducing privacy to its proof market brought new performance demands. Read the thread 👇 🧵1/7
