Insider Brief

A16z Crypto released Lattice Jolt, a post-quantum proof system that it says produces faster, smaller proofs while using less memory.

Lattice Jolt processed more than 2 million RISC-V cycles a second on a laptop CPU and exceeded 10 million with Apple Metal GPU acceleration.

The system replaces elliptic-curve cryptography with the lattice-based Akita commitment scheme and produces proofs smaller than 100 kilobytes.

A16z Crypto has released a lattice-based version of its Jolt proof system that it says can resist attacks from future quantum computers while producing proofs two to three times faster than the technology it replaces.
