Timelock Encryption (cryptography::bls12381::tle) is now available in the Commonware Library. Encrypt messages (bids) that automagically decrypt in the future (at the end of an auction).

What if you could capture the performance of a new mechanism before implementing it? Or even estimate how much "juice is left to squeeze" from further optimization? Meet @commonwarexyz's newest primitive: commonware-estimator (and the .lazy DSL)

To compete effectively with high-performance centralized blockchains, decentralized networks must deliver an equally responsive and seamless user experience. Achieving this demands overcoming persistent performance bottlenecks. QMDB and FAFO tackle the core challenges in storage and execution, advancing us toward decentralized blockchains that can truly have their cake and eat it too.

A log is all your need. Turns out you can just build a log db with hooks on CRUD and maintain arbitrary secondary indexes. It is as good as thor's hammer with extensions.

Append-only (authenticated) databases are inevitable. Huge thanks to @ryanzarick, @IsaacN0tNewton, and @Thomas_S_Kim for taking the time to unpack the insights behind the pioneering QMDB and explore how its scalability can drive SOTA TPS via FAFO.

Why is The Signal launching now? Over the past few weeks I’ve previewed The Signal to small groups and explained its timing with what I call the “ZK Syzygy”—a recent convergence of zero‑knowledge breakthroughs that finally makes proving Ethereum finality practical. ZK is compounding fast. Think bigger. Be @boundless_xyz.

Introducing @commonwarexyz's new USA Cluster 🇺🇸. 50 validators (2vCPU/4GB RAM). 75ms Block Time. 120ms Finality.

At @commonwarexyz, we've been (im)patiently waiting for @boundless_xyz's new Signal Client to power Ethereum -> Commonware Library interoperability (with ZK proofs of consensus external validators no longer need to run their own Ethereum node for "full security" when recognizing deposits). If you've been waiting for the right moment to connect to Ethereum, wait no longer. 👀

Boundless Mainnet Beta is Live. With it, we are launching The Signal: an industry-wide collaboration to ZK prove all chains. A new era of scaling and interoperability starts now.

v0.0.55 of the @commonwarexyz Library is now available: * 377 files changed (25k+ LOC) * 9 new primitives, 1 new example (state sync 👀) * 30 new fuzz targets * 300 new benchmark permutations * 100% MIT/Apache-2
