New Paper w/ @YourBuddyConner, @spilehchiha, @nico_mnbl, @convoluted_code, Akis Kattis.
Mispricing issues in major rollups enable practical DoS and finality attacks. All major rollups have made adjustments in production and we were awarded multiple bug bounties. 1/🧵
We are really quite excited to finally have this out there!
This paper was delayed due to the sheer volume of rollups that were vulnerable and had to be patched.
Major kudos to @schaliasosvons for his resiliency and the rest of the authors for their contributions to SOTA.

@TheProofLab Documentation assessment
@TheProofLab rates the documentation as comprehensive for architecture, MIPS ISA support, STARK design, and quickstart/materialized examples.
Gaps include GPU setup/optimization, production deployment guidance, and a consolidated troubleshooting
And:
• Which requesters/provers drive volume?
• How concentrated is demand/supply? Are new players joining?
• Which programs (vk_hash) dominate?
Dive in & tell us what to add next.
@TheProofLab
New @SuccinctLabs Prover Network dashboard (by @TheProofLab) helps you ask:
• Are requests getting fulfilled on time?
• How long do auctions take?
• When do throughput dips happen (and how long do they last)?

This Saturday at 10 AM PDT is our next Frontiers Talk: Breaking ZK Provers to Build a Stronger Ethereum with @YourBuddyConner, founder of @TheProofLab.
More detail below!
📣Our next Frontiers Talk is coming August 16th at 10 AM PDT!
@YourBuddyConner, founder of @TheProofLab, will show how adversarial mainnet transactions can stress test ZK provers and expose hidden weaknesses in Ethereum’s proving stack.

Expect pure signal from a true crypto OG.
.@TheProofLab re-announced ZKarnage, a live stress-test of ZK provers to uncover vulnerabilities by submitting "prover killer" transactions that have discrepancies between their EVM gas costs and actual computational costs for provers.
The goal is to strengthen the ZK ecosystem, share data with developers, and collaborate for better security. This initiative is backed by an @ethereumfndn grant and is in collaboration with @eth_proofs.

We're about to find out how resilient these critical systems really are.

Had a great time spreading the word about ZKarnage and @TheProofLab at @frontiertower today, thanks to @HouseofZK for the invite!
I was told by multiple sources that the best part was the pink hats -- I always have a couple on me if you catch me at a SF Crypto event!
