I’m bullish on trading off cryptographic security for cryptoeconomic in zk.

You guys have no idea how excited I am about AlignedLayer. It really opens up a lot more possibilities in ZKPs on-chain. Cheap verification is just the tip of the iceberg.

Stay tuned

I assume it just aggregates different proofs before posting the root one on chain. This is a real benefit for early projects, but much less so to established ones as they already before aggregation of their txns.

Not sure I understand the last point. If the smart contract is the verifier, you can do this already.

For sure you get cost savings even at early usage.

I’m building /opacity where we do ZKPs over web2 APIs. These APIs can change arbitrarily.

The nice thing about AlignedLayer being an AVS is I can have that system handle the changes, which simplifies contract design.
