Introducing: @fileverse Floppy Disk 💾
A limited-edition collectible that doubles as a 1 GB encrypted storage. Secure the Floppy Disk and experience the future of private, real-time collaboration on @gnosischain.
Get yours from the @gnosis_ app Marketplace, powered by Circles.

Hidden powers of your Circles x Fileverse Floppy Disk
▪️ Claiming privacy is ZK secured thanks to @semaphoredevs / @PrivacyEthereum
▪️ Collaboration + storage is E2EE thanks to dDocs
▪️ Access is permissionless thanks to Gnosis Chain
▪️ Sovereignty is guaranteed thanks to @safe smart accounts
Explore new forms of private, everyday collaboration.
Soon, you'll also be able to use your Floppy to bypass the closed doors of new apps 👀

ZK Social Recovery with Semaphore 🚀
Really great work. Excited to see this!

🥧 WHY & HOW
ZK proofs and smart contracts are two novel primitives with the potential to fundamentally improve how we live and interact on the Internet.
We need to show how, in practice, through non-financial applications, your whole digital life should not be at the mercy of one company’s infrastructure or arbitrary rules. iCloud started popularizing social recovery recently (good step forward), but it remains centralized.
🌶️We've built the privacy-enhancing, secure and decentralized alternative, building on top of the work of amazing team @PrivacyEthereum @SemaphoreDevs, and @safe smart accounts + @erc4337 account abstraction.
It's now live for both ddocs and dsheets and will be continuously improved!

Weekly update for dDocs and dSheets🧑🎄💃
💛Social ZKovery: account recovery made privacy-enhancing, social & serverless
One security upgrade before we start the new year:
-Setup: add 2 trusted people to ur recovery set
-Recovery: together they can help u recover ur account

🛡️ The new Semaphore Trusted Setup Ceremony is live!
And we would love contributions from the community
Following the recent BinaryMerkleRoot fix, we've launched a new trusted setup. You can contribute directly from your browser 🚀
1. Visit ceremony.pse.dev/projects/Se…
2. Log in with your GitHub account
3. Click "Contribute"
🔐 Participating in a trusted setup ceremony helps ensure that no single party can compromise the system, your contribution adds entropy that protects everyone who uses @SemaphoreDevs
You can learn more how they work here: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202…
Public Announcement:
🚨 A bug was found in the BinaryMerkleRoot circuit in ZK-Kit. It allowed invalid Merkle tree leaves to generate valid ZK proofs.
This has been fixed in v2.0.0 of BinaryMerkleRoot.
@SemaphoreDevs v4, which relies on this circuit, is being updated accordingly.
All downstream projects using this ZK-Kit circuit and Semaphore v4 were notified in advance.
A new Trusted Setup Ceremony is coming soon. Stay tuned!

How do you scale private actions to millions of users?
In “Scaling Semaphore: Noir in Action,” @ViviPlasenciaC will explore how @PrivacyScaling is scaling to meet that demand, discuss the motivation behind using Noir, share benchmark results for proof generation and verification, and highlight key insights.

This work couldn't have been done without our cryptography engineers @ewynx1 and Alex.
And of course the lovely people at @PrivacyScaling and @SemaphoreDevs (@AndyGuzmanEth, @ViviPlasenciaC) and @NoirLang (@savio_sou, @zkpedrongmi)

It’s been great working on Semaphore in @NoirLang 🤩
Really cool to dive into how @SemaphoreDevs by @PrivacyScaling works. And ofc, to be working with Noir again. Thanks to all involved for their support!
And we’re not done yet. The best (ahum, batching) is still to come 🙂

Time goes by when you're having fun: we're already half-way through @NoirLang Research Grant #3 by @PrivacyScaling for which we are implementing Semaphore in Noir.
For this milestone we wrote a short progress report you can find here: hashcloak.github.io/semaphor…

🚀 Semaphore V4 in Rust is here! You can now generate and verify Semaphore V4 proofs in:
- 🦀 Rust
- 📲 Native mobile (iOS & Android)
Built using @zkmopro
Fully compatible with the current Semaphore implementation, including EdDSA for identity and LeanIMT for Merkle trees.

Anonymous multi-sig wallets
A discussion right now in @safe 's forum by adding @SemaphoreDevs as modules.
Adding privacy back to signers is key to prevent onchain spear phishing targeting.
Jump in to support this proposal and/or raise concerns to make it better

🔹 Why Semaphore in Noir?
@SemaphoreDevs enables private actions on Ethereum using ZKPs.
Bringing it to Noir makes proofs more efficient, accessible & modular, unlocking new privacy-first applications while advancing the Noir ecosystem.
🛠️ Noir + Semaphore = 🔥
