Jan 1, 2026January 2026 monthly summary for zama-ai/tfhe-rs: Focused on enabling hardware-accelerated ERC20 operations via HPU integration and stabilizing the HPU pathway for production use. Key outcomes include cross-platform validation of the ERC20 if_then_zero operation on CPU and HPU, updating the HPU bitstream RTL to v2.2, and implementing feature-gating to avoid runtime issues when HPU is disabled. Code quality improvements addressed import conflicts (removing redundant KeySwitch32PBSParameters import) and PRF availability handling (gate until HPU support is available). These changes set the stage for improved throughput, reduced CPU load for token operations, and faster secure token processing with future cryptographic features.
