EW + ZK TLS = value^2

I’ve been tinkering with consumer crypto for the past few months in an attempt to build something that engages and delights non-crypto people with the intent of secretly getting them on crypto rails. 

Long story short, an embedded wallet and ZK TLS on top of a great product will get us there. 

Embedded wallets = user accrues real-world value.

ZK TLS = user can bring web 2 value to web3 privately.

EW + ZK TLS = value^2
