i understand but the problem is that all of the trust assumptions with these things lie in the bridge. it literally feels pointless to build any of this shit as you can see, i'm in my despair stage of the cycle

Josh Swihart is the main reason I'm interested in Zcash again. He's changed the game.

ICYMI, @vitalik.eth made about post about privacy being normal, and mentioned Railgun, a privacy protocol on Ethereum. Arbitrum is the only L2 Railgun is deployed on. Defo worth checking out. I previously made a quick demo on it. Link here: https://twitter.com/BitcoinRollups/status/1745509878829830410/video/1

it doesn’t matter. No one talks about TRON on Twitter, but people use it. People are too obsessed with zcash fud. Josh’s response was right. People don’t like zcash because of X reasons. Move on.

I'll ask Chainway specifically if they're planning on doing research forums. BitVM2 is primarily focused on adding a SNARK verifier and making the verifier role in BitVM permissionless BitVM2: https://bitvm.org/bitvm2 SNARK verifier: https://bitvm.org/snark

most stuff is published via zerosync and other contributors githubs + their telegram chat. Links here: https://bitvm.org/ Also, this is probably the best repository of BitVM related content/posts that might have what you're looking for. https://github.com/Rsync25/awesome-bitvm?tab=readme-ov-file

Wrote a post and explored how we can have a BitVM bridge program (or Bitcoin sidechain) execute an Espresso light client optimistically this would support BitVM rollups integrations with Espresso! https://hackmd.io/@januszgrze/espresso-on-bitcoin

A new post about shared sequencing, based-ness, and preconfirmations! Even though it is inspired by what we're building at Espresso, it puts forth a very comprehensive analysis and thesis about the whole sequencing ecosystem. https://hackmd.io/@EspressoSystems/rJCMloO6p
