I think for very, very simple machine learning models, FHE could make sense. I don't think that's viable right now. For the performance side, maybe with some of the work and hardware accelerators, the performance will be good enough. It's not clear if developers are going to be okay storing no ciphertext directly on chain. We're investigating some sort of storage solution for that. Could you store the ciphertext somewhere else and some reference or hash to the cipher text directly on chain? Can you explain that a little bit further? Yeah, yeah.
This week Anna Rose chats with Ravital Solomon, founder of Sunscreen. They cover her early interest in lattice-based cryptography and how this paved the way for her work on FHE, starting at NuCypher then with her startup Sunscreen. They dive into the challenges involved when building with FHE as well as exploring the power in combining ZKP and FHE. They also discuss the early emergence of lattice-based zero knowledge proofs.

Polygon zkEVM is here. This performant, ZK-powered, open-source, EVM-equivalent rollup launched its Mainnet Beta last month. Polygon zkEVM is making scaling truly frictionless—fast finality and EVM-equivalence means devs can do everything they can do with the EVM, only cheaper.
