Insider Brief

• A16z Crypto released Lattice Jolt, a post-quantum proof system that it says produces faster, smaller proofs while using less memory.
• Lattice Jolt processed more than 2 million RISC-V cycles a second on a laptop CPU and exceeded 10 million with Apple Metal GPU acceleration.
• The system replaces elliptic-curve cryptography with the lattice-based Akita commitment scheme and produces proofs smaller than 100 kilobytes.

A16z Crypto has released a lattice-based version of its Jolt proof system that it says can resist attacks from future quantum computers while producing proofs two to three times faster than the technology it replaces.

The open-source system, called Lattice Jolt, is a zero-knowledge…
