a16z crypto announces the launch of Lattice Jolt

#a16zcrypto has introduced #LatticeJolt , a lattice-based zero-knowledge virtual machine that replaces elliptic-curve cryptography with quantum-resistant alternatives. The #zkVM is designed to protect blockchain systems against future quantum computers capable of breaking today’s cryptographic foundations.

Lattice Jolt is positioned as an alternative within a16z’s existing Jolt zkVM framework. While lattice-based cryptography offers quantum resistance, it has traditionally required larger proofs and greater computational resources than elliptic-curve systems. Lattice Jolt makes proving and verification 2-3x faster while delivering sub-100 KB proofs, the smallest among post-quantum zkVMs.

Etherscan announces the launch of Flow

#Etherscan has launched #Flow , a new Build with #AI tool designed to simplify onchain transaction tracing across more than 60 EVM-compatible networks. Flow generates structured “Flow Case” files for visual analysis, reducing manual investigation and enabling AI-driven compliance and security workflows without requiring changes to existing data pipelines.

Flow was put to use almost immediately, with security researchers using it to trace the RedSonic Vault exploit on September 5, 2026, when an attacker used a flash loan to drain about 9.25 $ETH, worth roughly $23,000, in a single transaction.
