Offshift October Community Call & PriFi AMA Recap
Zokyo joined us to demo some internal tests on our code, cryptography, and Solidity. We also answered your questions on the role of synthetics, interoperability, transparency of ââzk balances, and where we’re at on our roadmap. In this month’s Developer Update & PriFi AMA recap, Zokyo cryptographer Victoria Grasshopper joined us to run some internal tests on our code, cryptography, and Solidity blockchain application. To keep updated with what the Zokyo team is working on, check out our Roadmap .

Offshift Dev Update, Mid-October 2021: Schnorr's Multi-Signature Algorithm
Offshift is working with Zokyo to develop the platform that will finally bring private finance, or PriFi, live. Here’s a progress update for mid-October, 2021. Zokyo continues to work on the cryptography for Offshift’s platform , specifically the implementation of Schnorr’s multi-signature algorithm. This protocol enables a group of signers to produce a short, joint signature on a common message, thus solving security, privacy, and efficiency problems in blockchain. Schnorr’s Multi-Signature Algorithm allows for the aggregation of multiple signatures and their corresponding keys into a single key.

What Decentralization Is, What It's Not, and Why It Matters
It’s George again, with the latest on everything you need to know about decentralization - and, more importantly, the many imposters that often go by its name. Right now, there are many heated debates on decentralization, and I’d like to take a moment to provide some clarity to all of the people following Offshift and my previous blog posts. All of you are deserving (and capable) of possessing the necessary knowledge to understand who is giving you the facts and who is trying to fool you for the purposes of furthering their own personal agendas.

Offshift Dev Update, Mid-September 2021: Range Proofs 2.0
Offshift is working with Zokyo to develop the platform that will finally bring private finance, or PriFi, live on Ethereum’s Layer 1. Here’s a progress report since our last update in early September 2021. Zokyo continues to work on the cryptography for Offshift’s derivatives platform. Recently, the team has been focused on range proofs, and continues to make progress on that front. What are range proofs? Range proofs are fundamental to the value proposition of zero knowledge cryptography â specifically, the ability to verify information without revealing it.
