Ponos Technology

Ponos Technology performs top notch R&D of hardware-software optimized Zero-Knowledge proof (ZKP)-based solutions for core Web3 infrastructures. Our vision is a fully decentralized, absolutely secure and lightning fast next generation internet, guaranteeing ultimate privacy! We strongly believe that emerging ZKP rollups represent the most efficient means to achieve this goal in the foreseeable future. Based on this concept, a number of constructs to create efficient proving system have been recently proposed. Still, all of them essentially rely on the same underlying critical operations or cryptographic primitives such as elliptic curves, hash functions, signature verification and many more, that are perfectly suitable for custom built hardware acceleration. To that end, we bring solutions for the most critical elements of ZK prover to enable breakthrough in distributed client side proof generation and spur massive adoption of Web3 solutions in the entire ecosystem. We foresee a collaborative step-by-step approach for optimal integration of HW modules into fully optimized existing ZK prover solution that can eventually be implemented as a dedicated System-on-Chip to be used as a standalone solution or integrated in computers or even smartphones. We, the founding team combined, have gain experience by leading dozens of projects in cryptographic hardware engineering to build this vision of creating technology enablement knowledge hub able to optimize and implement existing critical modules as well as proactively propose and develop fundamentally new solutions.
