Starknet, a zero-knowledge (ZK) layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, has introduced the Starknet Stack, enabling developers to build custom blockchains using ZK technology. The suite offers three presets: StarkWare Sequencer, Madera, and Dojo. Leo Sizaret, from StarkWare, highlighted the importance of SN Stack in the face of quantum computing threats. Zero-knowledge technology, like ZK-stark, ensures data verification without revealing specifics. Dr. XinXin Fan's research on post-quantum security for Ethereum proposes using hash-based proofs. Google's Willow quantum processor showcases significant processing power, but experts believe the quantum threat is exaggerated. Recent claims of encryption breaches by quantum computers have been debunked due to insufficient computing power. Modern encryption standards remain secure. ZK-rollups are seen as the future of scaling blockchains. Stay updated with Cointelegraph for the latest insights on blockchain technology.

Utilizing AI in California to Combat Wildfires

Thursday. January 9 at 5:00 PM

California firefighters are increasingly turning to advanced technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to tackle the escalating threat of wildfires in the region. The recent surge in intensity and unpredictability of wildfires in Southern California has prompted the adoption of cutting-edge tools to enhance firefighting efforts. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reported over 26,000 acres ablaze with no containment. AI is revolutionizing wildfire management by enabling early fire detection, refining firefighting tactics, and reshaping disaster response strategies. The ALERT California system, developed by researchers at the University of California San Diego, utilizes a network of 1,000 cameras equipped with AI to swiftly identify and alert operators about potential fires. This innovative approach not only accelerates response times but also minimizes delays that could lead to uncontrolled fire growth. Companies like Pano AI and Ember Flash Aerospace are also leveraging AI to develop efficient wildfire detection technologies, emphasizing the importance of public-private partnerships and increased funding for prevention efforts.
