This trend is rooted in the adoption of zk-proof technologies (zero-knowledge proofs) and tokenized systems, which allow users to post anonymously while maintaining credibility and trust within the network.

Beyond anonymity, these tools could inspire new use cases, such as gamified social interactions or tokenized access to exclusive content. However, with increased adoption comes the need to address concerns like moderation and misuse.
