Polyhedra牵手谷歌云,让零知识证明更近一步

4 月 17 日,零知识证明(ZK)基础设施开发团队 Polyhedra Network(下文简称 Polyhedra)宣布已与谷歌云达成合作,以响应 Web2 与 Web3 市场对于该技术日益增长的需求。此次合作的焦点在于 Polyhedra 的尖端研究及专有算法,这些算法现已可通过谷歌云提供的零知识即服务(ZK-as-a-service)向全球开发者开放。通过谷歌云的基础设施,开发者们将可以高效地执行大规模特定证明,从而在保证可靠性的前提下实现性能优化。

随着合作的达成,未来 Polyhedra 将借助谷歌云的强大性能来处理海量的工作任务。Proof Cloud 是一项基于云的服务,它可以简化生成零知识证明的过程,让开发者可以利用 Polyhedra 创新性的零知识证明技术,直接在云端执行代码。通过该流程,Proof Cloud 可将复杂的证明生成抽象而出,允许开发者专注于应用构建,并享用可根据需求定制的底层基础设施。迄今为止,Polyhedra 的 Proof Cloud 已处理了超过 4000 万笔 ZK 证明生成任务,且正在支持诸如 zkBridge 和 ZK Oracle 等多种类别的 ZK 应用。 

此次与谷歌云的合作是 Polyhedra 扩展其零知识产品线的最新动作,该合作旨在将 Polyhedra 的业务版图从互操作性领域扩展到更广泛的领域,并利用零知识证明为这些领域带来优化与革新。

该合作的重要意义在于,不但开发者们可以提高开发效率,实现“降本增效”;同时 Polyhedra 零知识证明服务的易用性及功能性也有望得以继续加强。在将零知识证明与谷歌云的 Vertex AI 能力相结合之后,有可能会在零知识机器学习(Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning)领域激活新的强大功能,这也会让隐私型 AI 解决方案更易于推广和普及。此外,借助区块链节点引擎(Blockchain Node Engine,BNE)的强大功能,Polyhedra 还将简化区块链操作中的 ZK 相关工作负载,确保区块链网络能够更快地部署及扩展,进而方便开发者和企业更便利地将其投入实用。

Polyhedra 团队中技术精湛的博士级研究人员们将通力合作,利用谷歌云的强大能力来优化其创新解决方案。通过策略性地利用 Google Kubernetes Engine(GKE)、Hyperdisk、Vertex AI、GPU 以及 BNE,Polyhedra 产品及服务的性能和可扩展性有望进一步改善。这一重磅合作也再次证明了 Polyhedra 始终未变的初心 —— 为飞速发展的零知识证明服务贡献突破性的技术创新。

Polyhedra 首席战略官 Eric Vreeland 就本次合作表示:“与谷歌云的合作是进一步推广零知识证明服务的重要一步。零知识证明为现代计算过程中存在的数据有效性问题、计算可扩展性问题提供了一种创新的解决方案。与现有解决方案相比,Proof Cloud 有望实现显著的速度升级及成本优化,且可借助谷歌云将这一强大服务推广至更广泛的受众。”

Eric 补充表示:“随着 Web3 基础设施的进一步发展,谷歌云将帮助我们把将零知识证明的功能扩展至前所未有的水平。” 

自上线以来,Polyhedra 的零知识证明生成服务量一直在持续增长,过去一年中证明的生成量已增长了 100 倍。就在与谷歌云的合作官宣之前,Polyhedra 刚刚以 10 亿美元估值完成了 2000 万美元融资,该轮融资使得 Polyhedra 已步入了独角兽企业之列。基于本次合作,两家公司未来有望在零知识机器学习方面继续探索,在 AI 数据井喷的当下利用 Polyhedra 来进行 AI 质量控制。

谷歌云亚太区 Web3 负责人 Rishi Ramchandani 表示:“我们希望为开发者提供安全且可扩展的技术,并以此来推动 Web3 生态系统的增长。我们与 Polyhedra 的合作将推动零知识证明解决方案的进一步发展,并让更多的开发者能够接触到零知识证明技术。”

关于 Polyhedra Network: 

Polyhedra Network 正在通过先进的零知识证明技术构建下一代安全、可扩展和可互操作的 Web3 基础设施。该团队已开发并部署了多个新一代的 zk-SNARK 协议,其性能较市面上现有的解决方案提高了数个量级。Polyhedra 旗下的互操作性解决方案 zkBridge 已连接了超过 25 个区块链网络,可利用零知识证明来验证跨链消息的有效性,在零知识证明的保障之下,开发者们可在无需额外信任假设的条件下构建安全、可扩展且可互操作的应用程序。

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.

a16z: The Next Frontier of AI, The Triple Flywheel of Robotics, Autonomous Science, and Brain-Computer Interfaces

a16z presents a comprehensive investment thesis for the next frontier of AI: Physical AI, centered on a synergistic flywheel of robotics, autonomous science, and novel human-computer interfaces (HCIs) like brain-computers. While the current AI paradigm scales on language and code, the most disruptive future capabilities will emerge from three adjacent fields leveraging five core technical primitives: 1) learned representations of physical dynamics (via models like VLA, WAM, and native embodied models), 2) embodied action architectures (e.g., dual-system designs, diffusion-based motion generation, and RL fine-tuning like RECAP), 3) simulation and synthetic data as scaling infrastructure, 4) expanded sensory channels (touch, neural signals, silent speech, olfaction), and 5) closed-loop agent systems for long-horizon tasks. These primitives converge to power three key domains: * **Robotics:** The literal embodiment of AI, requiring all primitives for real-world physical interaction and manipulation. * **Autonomous Science:** Self-driving labs that conduct hypothesis-experiment-analysis loops, generating structured, causally-grounded data to improve physical AI models. * **Novel HCIs:** Devices (AR glasses, EMG wearables, BCIs) that expand human-AI bandwidth and act as massive data-collection networks for real-world human experience. These domains form a mutually reinforcing flywheel: Robotics enable autonomous labs, which in turn generate valuable data for robotics and materials science. New interfaces provide rich human-physical interaction data to train better robots and scientists. Together, they represent a new scaling axis for AI, moving beyond the digital realm to interact with and learn from physical reality, promising significant emergent capabilities and value.
