a16z Crypto Releases Lattice Jolt With Post-Quantum Security

a16z Crypto has introduced Lattice Jolt, an updated version of its open-source zkVM that replaces elliptic curve cryptography with lattice-based cryptography. The system offers post-quantum security, 2-3 times faster performance, and proof sizes under 100 KB. The project features the Akita polynomial commitment scheme, developed alongside LayerZero, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Southern California.
