@Stake_stone
- a staking protocol for omnichain liquidity. The protocol offers a number of innovations like scalable automatic yield optimization, multi-scenario adaptation for the STONE token, and cross-chain compatibility.
1/2 Our intern Alex Ozdemir has recently authored a paper on the Satisfiability Modulo Finite Fields (SMFF) theory.
SMFF is exciting because it allows traditional verification techniques to be applied to the
#ZK
domain.
