Bullish:

• 🟢 $MPCINFRA - Mikerah is bullish on MPC (Multi-Party Computation) infrastructure, describing her company's work on developing a custom MPC VM with its own instruction set architecture. She compares their approach to existing ZK infrastructure, highlighting the potential for more complex private computations using MPC technology.
  • “So, basically, the way we're doing it is I guess the the way to explain it would be probably contrasting it to, like, ZK infrastructure. Mhmm. So if you're familiar with, like, risk 0, what it allows you to do, you write your program in Rust, compiles down to RISC 5 bytecode, and then the RISC 5 bytecode runs in RISC 0s like VM. Yeah. We're doing a little something similar to that, except our VM is a custom MPC VM. We have our own ISA.” - Mikerah (44:02)
  • “So I would say, in order to do, like, more interesting private computes, you need a way for everybody to access your private information. Right? So the issue with ZK is that, basically, if you, like, take at face value, like, a lot of the definitions for, like, ZK Snarks, it kind of just says, like, you're a prover and you wanna prove something to somebody else, and assumes that you have the data. And then you don't wanna share that data. But what if you want somebody else to, like, do some interesting thing over your data?” - Mikerah (50:05)
