After many painful weeks filled with OOM errors, we can share our exciting results on iO benchmarking! Thanks to @SoraSue77 and @0xpiapark for the great work and for always bringing positive vibes!
Hello, World: the first signs of practical iO Today, we’re excited to announce that we have successfully implemented Diamond iO and completed its end-to-end workflow Check out the full post here: machina-io.com/posts/hello_wo…
With @w1nd3r1c4, we are releasing plasmafold: a trustless, efficient, 14k+ TPS L2 from combining plasma with a folding schemes based client-side prover. eprint.iacr.org/2025/1300 Our MIT licensed prototype client-side prover runs in Chrome, with a 1s/tx proving time and *very*…
You have my attention @ObadiaAlex @iamnotnicola
Alex and I are on a quest to understand how we can use cryptography beyond digital systems. What are new trust building blocks that we can build with nature? how can we use cryptography to secure physical interactions? I am so glad @ARIA_research is the home for this effort
During Devcon 2024 I heard for the first time about iO thanks to a presentation by Barry Whitehat. Leaving the room, I feel fascinated by the affordances of such a technology but also confused about its nature. How does this mysterious and incredibly powerful cryptographic…
New article released: we explain iO from a new perspective, using familiar building blocks such as FHE and Functional Encryption Check out the full post here: machina-io.com/posts/unboxing…

Let’s go Sora let’s go
We’re excited to announce that @SoraSue77 will present a talk about Diamond iO on Tuesday, June 24, from 4:30 pm to 5:00 at the Obfuscation Workshop in Berkeley hosted by Simons Institute(@SimonsInstitute). (link below)
Come at ZuBerlin, this Friday at 12 am. We'll try to build a conditional and non-interactive signature printer. Spoiler #1: you need iO Spoiler #2: there’s gonna be a whiteboard
1am in Ibiza. Writing hybrid arguments for a paper deadline in 12 hrs. Life’s crazy sometimes.
I just published a blog post on what I’ve been working on recently: Publicly Verifiable, Private & Collaborative AI Training yuriko.io/posts/verifiab… Hope you find it interesting!
A while ago I worked on a deniable authentication system (github.com/enricobottazzi…) A major flaw of that system was that only the designated verifier could generate malicious proofs therefore limiting the plausible deniability “factor” to solely be enforced by the designated…
(1/🎉) Social structures are built from plausibly deniable interactions, but how do we engineer them into digital systems? Here's TADA: Time-Assured Deniable Authentication! aka my earworm for the past month :) hackmd.io/@topo/tada
Welcome to @machina__io. Pia will help us with engineering optimisation, core research and, more importantly, choosing the font for our website
life update: In a world of acceleration, we need better privacy and truly trustless applications. Excited to share I’ve received a grant from @ethereumfndn @PrivacyScaling to work at @machina__io with @sorasue77 @backaes to bring iO (indistinguishability obfuscation) from theory…
hello, I joined @EnclaveE3! I want to say thank you to @auryn_macmillan for giving me the opportunity to build the future of encrypted, verifiable computation - more soon.
1st step towards practical iO completed 💎 Many more to come. We are Machina iO.
1/ Sora (@SoraSue77) and Enrico (@backaes) published a paper introducing Diamond iO 💎, a straightforward lattice-based construction of indistinguishability obfuscation (iO), taking a step toward practical iO. eprint.iacr.org/2025/236.pdf
