Introducing Lita Studios

While building the Valida zkVM and compiler toolchain remains our top priority, we believe infrastructure alone isn’t enough. Most use cases today represent only a fraction of what’s possible with zero-knowledge technology. To truly unlock the potential of Valida and the broader ZK ecosystem, we’re taking a proactive approach—exploring consumer product ideas that showcase the power of Valida and its flexibility as the most versatile compiler among general-purpose zkVMs, supporting Rust, C, and WASM.

Introducing Lita Studios
‍

Lita Studios is a collaborative developer hub where Lita Engineering and external contributors come together to push the boundaries of what’s possible to build on the Valida zkVM. By combining our technical expertise with the creativity and vision of the broader community, we are excited to introduce interesting use cases of ZK in payments, gaming, AI and more.

What we are currently building:

• Cat Runner: Our implementation of Chrone’s T–Rex Runner ensures cheat-free gameplay by leveraging the Valida zkVM to prove the game state in the Rust backend. 
• LitaPay: Trustless onramping leveraging the Valida zkVM stack. 
• Taste: Discovery platform that aggregates taste data from off-chain sources across multiple platforms using zkTLS and Valida to deliver personalized recommendations.
• ReVa: A minimal implementation of ZKPs of EVM block execution using Reth. Supports both Ethereum and OP Stack.

Collaboration at the Core

As we continue to build on Valida, we’re actively gathering feedback—both from our own development experiences and from the community. This feedback loop is critical. It allows us to refine our DevEx, optimize our zkVM tech stack, and ensure Valida remains intuitive, efficient, and accessible to builders of all skill levels.

The Human Layer

‍Cryptography, zero-knowledge technology, and the work we do at Lita are inherently complex—often esoteric, even for crypto-native audiences. Through Lita Studios, we hope to spark curiosity, ignite conversations, and raise awareness about the transformative potential of these technologies, one person at a time. 

‍

Alongside our technical efforts, we’re launching early versions of branded merchandise, reflecting our passion for design and human connection—a creative outlet shared and celebrated by many on our team.

Thanks for joining us on this journey

By bridging the gap between this cutting-edge technology that we all care so much about and everyday experiences, we hope to demystify ZK and bring its transformative potential to a broader audience.
