CryptoCompute Lab

Protocol Labs has created a new research lab focused on cryptography and high performance computing (CryptoCompute Lab). This lab supports engineering teams by solving "problems-to-be" before they impact operational systems and networks (such as IPFS, libp2p, and Filecoin) and also supports them on existing bottlenecks.

In 2020 alone, CryptoComputeLab delivered, among many other things:- A production-ready implementation of the Proofs of SpaceTime used by Filecoin.- The fastest implementation: zkSNARK implementation based on Groth16- The above power the live Filecoin network, producing around 4 Million zkSNARKs per day, the largest deployment of zkSNARKs to date.- A state-of-the-art BLS signature implementation.
