CosmWasm Storage Benchmarks

The problem Persistence is an important aspect of smart contracts. In CosmWasm, smart contract developers have access to a fundamental storage primitive: the key-value store. In the case of Secret Network, libraries like Fadroma and secret-toolkit build upon the CosmWasm KV store to implement additional storage structures. secret-toolkit predominantly uses binary blob pages, where each page […]

Zero-Knowledge proofs in Rust using the RISC Zero Virtual Machine

The concept of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) has been getting quite popular recently, especially in the blockchain space. Despite that, they haven’t seen a lot of adoption in real-world applications. There are certain limitations on computation and architectural requirements that make it not so straightforward to incorporate them into an existing project, but that also depends […]
