What is it: ZaKi by Ingonyama is a vertically integrated zero-knowledge hosting service designed to revolutionize how developers deploy zero-knowledge proofs. By leveraging highly optimized hardware, ZaKi offers a managed environment that enhances the performance of ZK computations through the use of state-of-the-art acceleration libraries and cutting-edge GPUs.
Why it's a big deal: ZaKi delivers unprecedented cost-performance advantages in ZK computation. Utilizing the ICICLE acceleration library, ZaKi enables seamless transitions from standard dev environments to high-performance ZK-specific setups. This translates to a 5x improvement in effective-cost-performance compared to traditional cloud instances and a 12.7x improvement over CPU-only setups. Developers can focus on building their ZK applications without complex hardware configurations, making high-efficiency ZK proving accessible and economically viable.
The Big Picture: Zero-knowledge proofs are essential for secure and private computations, increasingly becoming a cornerstone of advanced cryptographic applications. But the computational demands and complexity of ZK proving have been significant barriers to widespread adoption. ZaKi addresses these challenges by providing a streamlined, hardware-optimized solution that drastically reduces costs and simplifies the deployment process. As ZK technology integrates into more products and services, ZaKi's developer-friendly approach ensures that teams can leverage powerful computational resources without needing deep hardware expertise.

Welcome to the following team that recently joined the PL Directory!
Akave: Akave is revolutionizing data management with a decentralized, modular L2 solution that combines the robust storage of Filecoin with cutting-edge encryption and seamless integration.
DBForest: DB Forest is a decentralized marketplace for cloud database hosting with the goal of ridding the market of vendor lock-in and driving down prices by creating a fair and competitive environment where users are ensured that they can easily switch between providers.
VC DAO HB3 Accelerator: Helps entrepreneurs tokenize their business with a digital legal entity. VC DAO HB3 Accelerator’s venture capital fund offers investments and loans to digital legal entities.
Agoric launched the Orchestration API, which provides developers with high-level abstractions to create seamless, user-friendly multi-chain experiences fully on-chain. This API simplifies cross-chain interactions, allowing users to manage digital assets across multiple blockchain ecosystems with one-click interactions, unlocking universal on-chain liquidity.
The Decentralized Storage Alliance has released a storage reference architecture for the Filecoin network that leverages Seagate Exos CORVAULT and OpenZFS, reducing compute infrastructure by a factor of four while enhancing data integrity and network resiliency. This innovation makes commercial-grade storage more viable and scalable for future web2, AI, and web3 data loads.
