The @HouseofZK Weekly Newsletter From fresh reports on ZK privacy and proof verification to ePrint highlights, the recent @eth_proofs call, and our upcoming in-person workshop in San Francisco, this update covers a wide spectrum of ZK activity from the past week. We’ve compiled everything you need to stay current in one place 👇

In @HouseofZK Radio #59, @PolyhedraZK CSO @vreeland explains why progress in sectors like healthcare, finance, and supply chain is stalling: the data is too sensitive to use. But with ZK, that changes. Zero-knowledge tools could unlock private, siloed datasets - without compromising privacy - and enable a new wave of AI acceleration where it’s needed most. Watch the full episode to learn how ZK and AI are converging to unlock new use cases:

Join us in 2 days for ZK Day at Crypto Summit in San Francisco - featuring @0xLita, @ProjectZKM, @TheProofLab, @GOATRollup, and @SuccinctLabs! 🌉 🗓️ July 23rd, 2pm-5pm 📍 @frontiertower, SF 🎟️ Spots are limited - register now:

In a recent @HouseofZK Radio episode, @michael_hibachi, Co-founder of @hibachi_xyz, explained the 'decentralized exchange paradox'. With Web3 came a widespread assumption: that trustless trading requires running the entire exchange onchain. AMMs, RFQ platforms, and onchain order books all follow this model - using the blockchain as the execution environment to ensure transparency and verifiability. But this creates a fundamental trade-off. Blockchains are optimized for trust, not performance. So when you move every part of the exchange onchain, you inherit high latency, high cost, and limited throughput - the opposite of what users expect from real-time markets. This is the paradox Michael lays out: decentralization and transparency come at the cost of efficiency and UX - unless you rethink the architecture entirely. Watch the full episode to hear how Hibachi uses ZK to resolve this trade-off and create a new kind of decentralized exchange:

In House of ZK Radio #57, @DacEconomy describes @ProjectZKM's Entangled Rollup design - a framework for cross-chain interoperability that preserves base-layer security by using preconditions instead of message passing. Unlike traditional bridges or vertical rollups, Entangled Rollups aim to securely connect heterogeneous blockchains (e.g. @Bitcoin and @ethereum) under a universal zkRollup architecture. ZKM provides the zkVM infrastructure (Ziren), enabling verifiable computation across chains. @GOATRollup is the first implementation of this design, using ZKM to generate proofs for BitVM2/3-based Bitcoin L2 functionality. The long-term vision is to unlock scalable, secure, trust-minimized cross-chain applications while retaining decentralization and Bitcoin-level security. Learn more at

SNARK verification on Bitcoin just entered a whole new level 🤝

House of ZK Radio #59: Eric Vreeland, CSO at Polyhedra - out now on Spotify & YouTube 🔲🔳 In this episode we sit down with @vreeland, CSO at @PolyhedraZK, to discuss the building of performant ZK infrastructure - from the industry’s fastest proof systems to a new frontier in verifiable AI. We cover Polyhedra’s move from bridging to ZKML, developer onboarding with ProofCloud, and how real-time proving unlocks a new class of zero-knowledge applications. Essential listening for anyone exploring ZKML, proof infra, or trust-minimized AI deployment 🤝 Spotify: YouTube:

We asked EthCC: How is ZK doing now? Cannes said: It’s hot. 🔥 Big shoutout to @hyli_org @StarknetFndn @ProjectZKM @HouseofZK for brewing ZK Morning Coffee with us.
