Hi everyone,

I was reading about tinydancer and light clients on Solana but can’t see lots of resources on the topic. AFAICT tinydancer’s development is now stopped ([GitHub - tinydancer-io/tinydancer: The First Light Client for the Solana Blockchain · GitHub](https://github.com/tinydancer-io/tinydancer)). Is anyone here aware of any work on light clients for Solana? 🙂

I saw the SIMDs associated with tinydancer (e.g. [SIMD-0052: Add Receipt Root to Bankhash by anoushk1234 · Pull Request #52 · solana-foundation/solana-improvement-documents · GitHub](https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-improvement-documents/pull/52)), but I’m wondering if there is a specific thread about light clients I can read through to get the latest on the topic. I’m particularly interested to know if anyone is working on / discussing about ZK light clients for Solana.

Thanks a lot!
