  • Müsli - An experimental binary serialization framework with more choice
    7 projects | /r/rust | 18 May 2023
    Love seeing the work on modes! There's definitely a use for this in cryptography, where you might want to serialize things containing elliptic curve points, which can be serialized in both "compressed" form and "uncompressed" form. We make extensive use of this in our serialization framework in arkworks: https://github.com/arkworks-rs/algebra/tree/master/serialize
  • What application will make Rust its prime ?
    3 projects | /r/rust | 23 Apr 2023
    Rust takes the cake in the blockchain space: Substrate, Cosmos (CosmWasm), and Solana. All of the zero knowledge cryptography libraries used for layer 2 solutions are written in Rust, compiling to Wasm (see arkworks, Risc0). Ethereum's next version of smart contracts will even use a restricted subset of Wasm ("Ewasm") instead of EVM.
  • Example of how of `disallowed_method` Clippy lint in Rust 1.54 can be quite handy

    Is ark a prefix Embark is using for all their Rust crates, or is it a one-off name for your future crate? If so, it might collide with our naming convention in the arkworks ecosystem: arkworks.rs
