crypto

Just started a company in the zkTLS space. Am super bullish on alot of use cases.

The most romantic of which are vampire attacks. My definition of a VA doesn’t require a token incentive, can just be a better product for users.

Will add a few companies I think are ripe for a VA in comments.

@eddy how familiar are you with zkTLS?

I’ve been obsessed for many years. I view it as a complete game changer.

Right now I can derive a ZKP from a year of bank transactions that says balance went up by at least 2k/mnth. 

Also the data can be trusted to have originated from say api.chase.com

Pretty familiar! I remember seeing Aayush and Sampriti demo ZK email in summer 2022, have been following zkp2p, etc.

I have some concerns about relying on single points of failure (ex: bank can decide to change schemes or stop signing) but agree that it's extremely powerful and interesting.

> bank can decide to change schemes

It just hit me AlignedLayer can really help with this. Since we tradeoff cryptographic security for cryptoeconomic, it should be much easier to adjust to changes in api surfaces.
