Champaign, Illinois, United States, July 2nd, 2024, Chainwire
Pi Squared, (Proof of Proof), introduced the closure of their first capital increase. Led by Polychain Capital, the syndicate consists of ABCDE, Bloccelerate, Generative Ventures, Robotic Ventures, and Samsung Subsequent. Angel traders embody Shumo Chu, Harish Devarajan, Justin Drake, Sreeram Kanaan, Csongor Kiss, George Lambeth, Yilong Li, Calvin Liu, Lucian Mincu, Karthik Raju, and Widespread Prefix.
Utilizing zero-knowledge (ZK) expertise in a correct-by-construction and basically distinctive means, Pi Squared will allow trustless distant computing, AI, and interoperable good contracts for any blockchain or dApp. This might be made attainable by the creation of a common and disarmingly small ZK circuit that checks the integrity of mathematical proofs, which can present verifiable-computing correctness ensures to all languages and digital machines (VMs) alike straight from their formal semantics, with none translation to a standard language, VM, or instruction set structure (ISA).
“Our mission is to revolutionize verifiable computing, making it common for all languages and digital machines, inherently correct-by-construction, and lightning-fast,” says Grigore Roșu, CEO of Pi Squared and CS Professor at College of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “It will have many purposes, together with a common settlement layer (USL) so all Blockchains, L1s and L2s, could be common, appropriate, inter-operable and environment friendly. It doesn’t finish there, our long-term mission is to settle all science and information on USL.”
“Pi Squared’s proof of proof expertise may have a transformative affect throughout Web3 and past,” mentioned Karthik Raju, GP at Polychain Capital. “Pi Squared’s common ZK circuit will considerably enhance the attain and applicability of Web3 for everybody, from builders to finish customers.”
Pi Squared will allow the subsequent era of verifiable computing that’s common and scalable with an optimally minimal belief base. The primary product powered by Pi Squared is the Common Settlement Layer (USL), an structure for modular blockchains that allows the next traits:
Universality
Computations could be expressed in any high-level or digital machine language, with out the necessity for compilers or translators.
Provable correctness
Computations verified by the USL are mathematically confirmed to be appropriate, and any exterior entity can independently confirm the correctness of the state of the USL.
Belief Base Minimality
USL exposes any belief assumptions in upper-layer computations for elevated transparency, end-user consciousness, and can reduce the belief base by correctness proofs.
App Interoperability
The USL will assist interoperability between totally different software modules and networks (e.g. appchains).
Determinism and reproducibility
The validation is reproducible and independently verifiable by any exterior entity.
Pi Squared’s USL due to this fact gives end-to-end correctness ensures for generic computations whereas minimizing the belief base underlying these computations. USL promotes verifiable computing as the usual distributed computing paradigm with out requiring or selling specific domain-specific languages (DSLs), VMs, or execution environments, all whereas being environment friendly and scalable.
Pi Squared might be presenting and exhibiting at occasions round EthCC in Brussels from July eighth to eleventh. Attendees can hearken to Pi Squared’s CEO, Grigore Roșu, communicate at Restaking & Infra Day on July eighth and L2con on July ninth.
About Pi Squared
Pi Squared means ZK proofs of mathematical proofs. Pi Squared makes use of ZK expertise in a correct-by-construction and basically distinctive means. A common and disarmingly small ZK circuit gives verifiable-computing correctness ensures to all languages and VMs alike, with none translation to a standard language, VM, or ISA. Pi Squared is led by UIUC professor Grigore Rosu, founding father of the Okay framework and of Runtime Verification, and consists of researchers and founders of profitable initiatives in formal strategies, blockchain, and AI/ML.
