VeryAI raised $10M to develop a palm-scan biometric identity verification system on Solana that uses zero-knowledge proofs to distinguish real users from AI-generated accounts without storing personal data. The platform aims to prevent sybil attacks and bot farming on crypto exchanges and fintech platforms.

vulnerability

Verichains discovered a critical vulnerability in Polygon zkEVM's zkProver component stemming from field incompatibility between STARK (operating on F_p^3) and SNARK (operating on F_q) in the recursive proof conversion process. The flaw allowed attackers to forge arbitrary valid proofs, enabling unauthorized state manipulation and potential loss of funds across L2 and L1, which was patched in December 2023.
