Ethereum

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

cto @ bwl.gg (lunchbreak.com), 80M+ users (bdut.ch) 🙏 built @remindme, @mintit, @gpt, @healthbot, farcantasy.xyz

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

EF based on my interactions don’t share social capital easily at all (with good reason)

Also as a startup, one is running a business- its part and parcel of it. EF’s efforts have all been open source and nonprofit. 

If EF goes down the path of being such an active industry participant it strays from its core role

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
