Private transfers are so hot right now, but how many of you understand how they actually work?
We got you covered with an easy explainer - so easy, you can show it to your grandma
Soon you'll be able to have private transfers live in @ambire

clz - opcode to return number of leading 0s in a bit
Before clz
Binary search to find most and least significant bits
With clz
msb = 255 - clz(x)
lsb = 255 - clz(x & -x)
What's x & -x?

Been learning about ZK-SNARKs lately! The core ideas behind modern hash-based schemes are surprisingly accessible & elegant 🧙♂️
Partly to teach myself, I wrote a post explaining them from scratch for people like me without a deep math background:

Groth16
I will explain the complex equations in the future

yBorg - Week 1 Day 2
Meet @0xFlint_, the newest yBorg mentor. A gigachad security researcher with a diverse background who spends his free time getting lost in massive Rust codebases. He share's his audit methodology and thoughts on AI in a new video.
Today’s yBorg assignment:
- Watch the vid
- Soak up the alpha
- 👉 Think about how you’d turn his process into an AI-assisted workflow
For those who are joining us online, share a diagram in the comments showing how you'd turn Flint's process into an AI-assisted workflow - we'll be sharing examples from the Discord later.
This whole week we are thinking about process, both human and AI. We'll be sharing lots of diagrams and examples throughout the week and by the end of the week, fellows complete a diagram of what they are building!
@0xFlint_ also hosted an AMA on the discord and we can continue that here in the comments if anyone has anything they'd like to ask.
Enjoy the vid and don't forget to share your diagrams and ask questions in the comments!

The last months I realized that income from bug hunting is to unregular for me. Because of this I have decided to move more into private audits and do bug hunt only when I have some free time.
If you are looking for a security researcher feel free to reach out to me here -> t.me/schnilch
