RISC Zero is the company blog at risczero.com, writing about programming and security. Since 2022, 11 different Hacker News readers have linked it 12 times, most often “Verifiable computation made easy with risczero”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (9) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers cite RISC Zero's site as a reference for zero-knowledge proof projects, including its zkVM and blog posts on ZK use cases like proving exploits and decentralized identity. No comment judges the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 9 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Unlock the full potential of ZK on every chain. High-performance, cost-effective, and powered by the leading open-source zkVM.

RISC Zero | Seattle, Remote | https://www.risczero.com We've raised a seed round and are hiring in engineering and devrel. Much of the team has been together on and off since the early 2000s and shipped a lot of software together. Big plans for this one. "RISC Zero is a cutting edge technology company that is using Zero Knowledge Proofs to scale blockchain tech. We have created an open source virtual machine using R…

HN discussionThis seems like something that could be verified through ZK proofs. The data to search could be represented by a public merkle root, and the searching/indexing given the user query could be programmed in a ZKVM like RISC0[1]. [1] https://www.risczero.com/zkvm

on “Proof of solvency and beyond”It depends what the proof system is being used for. There are applications of ZKC that this would absolutely break. It isn't on the exact same proving scheme broken in this research, but consider https://risczero.com/blog/zkpoex , which is about proving that you have an exploit (a program) that puts a protocol into into an unexpected state, without revealing the exploit. Imagine you had a specially crafted program t…

on “An Interesting Zero Knowledge Use Case?”I was curious about this I think we can offer more sophisticated (but more computing intensive) anonymity using homomorphic encryption. For example, using RISC Zero [1]. [1] https://www.risczero.com/

on “I quitted web development because I failed to learn CSS”You could use OpenPubkey [0] to bind your identity key to your say Google or Okta account. With an MFA Cosigner, a malicious Google wouldn't be able to impersonate you. IF you really wanted to go full cipherpunk, you could use the stuff risc.zero [1] is building to could keep your identity secret via ZKPs on your ID Token.
