The Filecoin Network announced via Twitter on Friday the launch of its Lurk programming language. Filecoin said Lurk is a Turing-complete programming language for recursive zk-SNARKs (zero-knowledge Succinct Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge) that will enable new possibilities for SNARK proofs, blockchain consensus, the Filecoin Virtual Machine (FVM), decentralized apps, data integration with IPFS and IPLD, and more. Lurk is an accessible language that makes the development of programs to be proved much simpler and will make SNARK programming more accessible, Filecoin added. 

Filecoin is a decentralized storage network that serves as an incentivization layer on top of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). FIL has lost more than 3% of its value over the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $18.02
