Dusk (@DuskFoundation)
We just shipped 10 releases of Dusk's core cryptography. Here's the simple version of what each piece does and what just got better. → Proofs (PLONK) The engine that lets you prove something is true without revealing the details. It's how Dusk keeps transactions private and still verifiable. Creating and checking proofs is now roughly 2x faster. → Hashing (Poseidon) A digital fingerprint for data. Same input, same fingerprint, and you can't reverse it. Inside a proof, it now does the same job with about a third less work. → Merkle trees A way to prove one item is part of a huge list without showing the list. Those proofs now take a third less work, and the trees reject bad input. → Encryption (ElGamal + SAFE) What locks private data so only the right people can read it. Decrypting an encrypted number inside a proof now takes up to 84% less work. → Signatures (Schnorr + BLS) How the network knows a message really came from you. Multisig now has protection against key tricks, and checking a signature inside a proof takes 14% less work. → Curves The math the whole stack is built on. Both foundation libraries were upgraded and now reject bad input. Full breakdown in the thread ↓
