GM gm Degens! Just got back from my wedding with @angela1395. Awesome weekend with family and friends—good vibes all around. Wrocław’s on flood watch after 4 days of rain. Heard rain at a wedding means good luck and financial success, so let’s hope! Ready to dive back in.

Today I learned that TLSNotary / zkTLS is a 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟑-era idea.
It took a decade but we're getting there!

In the words of @sinu, "everything was already invented 10 years ago on the bitcointalk forum".

True story, I consciously chose not to work in zk opting for decentralized identity instead.

My thinking I’m still confident is correct

This is why we need to start implementing solutions such as OpenPassport (ex zkPassport) in web3 social apps.

Also looking forward to the stealth ZK EU ID solution being developed by @pmuens.eth 😎

It’s our 50th episode of the web3 with a16z podcast!

The episode is on how tech advances thanks to the blockchains/ crypto space can be applied to many other industries well beyond.

Tim Roughgarden (a16z crypto Head of Research and professor at Columbia University) and Dan Boneh (a16z crypto Senior Research Advisor and professor at Stanford University) and our Editor in Chief, @smc90  cover everything from AMMs to credible auctions to DAOs, to macroeconomic experiments and FHE to TEEs to zero knowledge and much more — offering useful explanations along the way.

Find find “web3 with a16z” wherever you get your podcasts.

Wondering if zkTLS is the missing puzzle piece for self-sovereign digital identity.

We can already sign attestations about other people (ex: EAS, Farcaster), which is valuable but a very slow way to build an identity system because it requires participation from trusted signers. Web Proofs can come from any institution that has user data accessible via the internet without needing the institution’s participation or permission. 

Aggregate all those attestations & proofs, and voila you have a global identity system with no central control.

@web3pm and @osprey (@witness) haven’t here bringing the property of verifiable relative time to Attestations.

So now you can verify in a ZKP when some attestation existed in a trust-less, gas-efficient way.

Shout out to the merkle mountain range 🫡

Interesting numbers - but this is still in the rookie territory IMO (and that isn't including the memory benchmarks which we don't know for stwo).
