𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝟳𝘁𝗵, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 We're back to sharing our weekly engineering updates! Here’s a short thread on the latest improvements, features, and fixes: 1/7

This week focused on fixing issues presented by users of ZK Arcade, enhancing user experience and operational efficiency across the platform. We also introduced improvements to our internal systems adding enhanced summaries of operational costs and earnings. We added support for Mina verifiers in Aligned staging, supporting the ongoing work by @nori_zk for deployment of the @MinaProtocol to Ethereum bridge which uses our Proof Verification Layer. 2/7

For ZK Arcade, we implemented better time estimations based on gas prices, enhanced metrics collection with game-specific claims data, and improved proof validation security. The week also included several platform stability fixes and monitoring improvements. 3/7
