ChainCatcher news, the Wormhole Foundation announced a partnership with Succinct to develop an Ethereum ZK light client, aimed at further decentralizing message verification within the Wormhole platform. This collaboration leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to minimize trust in the Wormhole platform, improve cross-chain composability, and enhance network security.According to data from RootData, Succinct Labs has received investment from f.actor and launched the zkSNARKs-based Ethereum interoperability protocol Telepathy on March 17, 2023.

ChainCatcher news, the lightweight blockchain protocol Mina development team O(1) Labs has submitted a proposal to Optimism, suggesting the application of its zero-knowledge proof technology built on MIPS zkVM to OP Stack fraud proofs. The MIPS functionality, in addition to the locally high-performance snarkyJS (an SDK for building client-side ZKP applications), also allows applications to be written in a general-purpose language.
