Hey HN!

We’re building the StoffelVM, a virtual machine designed to make secure multi-party computation accessible to regular developers.

Right now it’s early-stage: - We’ve built the VM core - But MPC isn’t wired up yet

We are looking for feedback on the general approach. If you are interested in building something that would be a good fit, feel free to reach out! Details are in my bio.

Can you describe the connection between the "VM" and the "MPC" implementation. The project is described as a VM for Multiparty computation, but (currently) doesn't do MPC? Implying its currently just a certain kind of VM?

Genuinely curious, fan of any tooling that makes writing MPC protocols easier.

Hi, sorry for missing this. I'm usually a lurker on HN. Right now, it's just a general purpose VM that does the basics of what anyone would expect any VM to do. We are currently in the midst of implementing the MPC specific aspects to the VM, namely distributed computation and allowing anyone to plug in any MPC protocol they want as long as it conforms to our set of interfaces. We will be providing MPC protocols that we think are worthwhile for use cases that we know have users and as such, if you aren't a cryptographer but have a sense of where you want to use MPC, you can just use our VM and associated APIs without having to fiddle too much with the actual cryptography.
