A technical guide on deploying Claude AI as a containerized backend service on AWS, demonstrating how Rumble Fish bridges AI capabilities with traditional web interfaces using ECS, S3, and SQS for enterprise applications.

At Rumble Fish, a software development agency, we live in an industry defined by constant change. Adapt or become irrelevant - that's the reality we face every day. When AI coding assistants emerged, we were early adopters. But what surprised us wasn't Claude's ability to write code. It was everything else.

This guide covers enterprise-grade ZKP solutions, smart contracts development, and blockchain technology implementations for privacy and scalability. We focus on companies with proven track records rather than early-stage projects still finding their footing. The target audience includes CTOs evaluating blockchain infrastructure investments, project managers planning ZKP integrations, and enterprises seeking partners who can navigate both technical complexity and regulatory compliance demands.

This article explores how the Stellar blockchain supports Zero-Knowledge Proofs through its Soroban smart contract platform, focusing on the implementation of two elliptic curves: BLS12-381 (already supported for high security) and BN254 (coming soon for Ethereum compatibility). The upcoming X-Ray protocol upgrade will add native support for BN254 and Poseidon hash functions, which are specifically optimized for ZKP systems and significantly more efficient than traditional hash functions like SHA-256. Together, these additions will make Stellar a powerful platform for privacy-preserving applications by lowering costs, improving performance, and enabling seamless migration of existing ZK applications from other blockchains.

Lately, we've been discovering all the different flavors of blockchain technology - from the nitty-gritty of XRP Hooks to the complex machinery of Solana's indexers. But this time, let’s switch gears a little bit to explore another amazing and rapidly growing universe: AI. We’ve moved from simply chatting with AI to watching it write code, debug errors, and even browse the web. But are we really maximizing this potential? Is typing into a prompt box really the peak of evolution? I don't think so! Today, we’re going to step into the next frontier: Agentic AI.

I guess we all know someone who never remembers anniversaries, birthdays, or any important dates. I have to honestly admit that I am that person, which is why I rely on calendars and notes apps to keep everything organized, set reminders, and quickly find whatever information I need.  Now, let’s put that simple solution to my issue into a blockchain context. A blockchain is a public, distributed ledger in which data is linked together using cryptographic hashes. You might imagine it as one giant list of dates and records, like storing your whole family’s birthdays in one place. The problem is, it doesn’t give you a straightforward way to ask, e.g., for only the birthdays happening this month. That’s the fundamental misunderstanding people have about blockchains.
