EF should have supported ZK startups with social capital but they never did all the ZK startups are dying in real time if Ethereum was as cypherpunk as it wants to be, these projects would not have been abandoned

EF has a team called Privacy and Scaling Explorations and there’s tonnes of really good zk work being done there

the fact that we haven't heard of it shows that EF doesn't openly share its social capital with the teams saying this as a zk startup founder literally witnessing this collapse from the inside as more and more teams disappear if there is tonnes of work being done, there seem to be no visible results

There are plenty of results from PSE that are well known — RLN, TLS Notary, Semaphore, MACI, a lot of interesting research projects They’re a research group not a startup incubator

any of these got traction? research without traction isn't great for the ecosystem

I think a central organization that has to prop up companies to keep them alive isn’t ‘great for the ecosystem.’ My read of your OP is that you think EF should’ve thrown their social capital behind zk companies to keep them from disappearing (?)

Meanwhile you’re saying that you haven’t heard of PSE or any of the open source tools they’ve contributed to ZK App developers

Companies disappearing is a totally natural healthy part of innovation. That’s not the EFs fault. We have a duty to build useful, valuable applications. The EF does not have a duty to artificially prop up companies under the guise of cypher punk ideals
