v1.1.0FeatureCurrent2026-06-12

Higher-Signal Findings and Parallel Scans

Higher-signal findings that spell out the attack path, results ordered by real impact, parallel scans across your repositories on a smarter queue, private repositories without scary GitHub permissions, and README badges anyone can verify.

  • Higher-signal findings: gestalt spells out end-to-end attack paths, severities you can trust, no more noise from test scaffolding
  • Findings are now ordered by impact, so the scariest ones come first
  • Run scans on several repositories in the same project at once, on a smarter queue with fair scheduling and faster starts
  • Private repositories without scary permissions: connecting GitHub is now sign-in only
  • README badges that prove themselves: show your latest scan or scan count, scope a badge to a repository, and let anyone verify it

zkao 1.0: Now Public, with Solidity and Sharper Flows

zkao 1.0 is our move out of private beta into a public, generally available release: the main version of the product. Access stays curated, with every team reviewed before scanning. This release also adds Solidity and EVM coverage with runnable proof-of-concept exploits, sharper analysis flows that find and confirm more real bugs, and triage that reinvests unused budget into deeper validation.

  • zkao is now public: version 1.0, generally available, with access still curated and reviewed per team
  • Solidity and EVM smart contract scanning with proof-of-concept exploits
  • Sharper analysis flows: snarksentinel and gestalt find and validate more real bugs
  • cryptopsy now diffs implementations against their specs to catch subtle crypto bugs
  • Triage reinvests a scan's unused budget into deeper finding validation
