The wind is a bit chilly, but the news is hot. Tonight, let's discuss two major events that bring research and privacy into the "usable zone": @zama_fhe's FHE acceleration breakthrough and @BioProtocol's full-stack transformation of funding and IP in biological research onto the blockchain. Let's start with a small appetizer: FHE is a hardcore black technology that allows calculations without decrypting data, with a key bottleneck called bootstrapping (the step of "denoising" the ciphertext). Previously, it was painfully slow and would bottleneck as soon as the volume increased. Now, it's like kicking the door open: • bootstrapping: 53 ms in 2021 → 0.9 ms today, a 56x speedup • 64-bit encrypted addition: 2000 ms in 2022 → 8.7 ms today, a 230x speedup • 64-bit encrypted multiplication: 13000 ms in 2022 → 32 ms today, a 400x speedup What does this mean? The TPS for confidential transactions has increased from 0.1 in 2022 to 230 today, surpassing Ethereum and several L2s. The roadmap is...
