without private transactions, blockchains will create dystopia. as the current system breaks down due to entropy, more people will be trapped in the financial panopticon

Even if we crack scalability and interoperability for blockchains by 2025, it won’t bring the world on-chain. Why? Businesses and users need privacy—at least Web2 levels (we’re far from that in Web3). The catch? Web3 can’t just replicate Web2 privacy. (Hint: it can go beyond—but that’s a topic for another post.) Take “private” validiums: ZK chains where validators hold the full state but don’t share it. Sounds like Web2-style "privacy from peers," right? But relying on centralized operators undermines decentralization. So… why even start with a chain? 🤔

Totally agree with both statement it isn’t vs. and performance is probably the biggest bottleneck for adoption. As far as coSNARKs goes will focus a lot on performance in 2025. There is so much room for improvement. In particular, for the extended witness generation part. Proofing itself is already quite fast.

I believe calling the system we trust most “trustless” is a mistake

✅Range checks in collaborative Noir ✅Support for asserts, and... ✅The first version of the Brillig VM in MPC! Though still in early experimental stages, this is huge progress for private shared state in Noir Read more in the coNoir releases: https://docs.taceo.io/docs/releases/co-noir-nov/

Excited for tomorrow: Our first internal hackathon. One week, self-chosen projects, and ideas we’ve been eager to try. Highlights include: - Secret-shared Santa: an on-chain gift exchange powered by coSNARKs. - Asymmetric private proof delegation. Will be fun!

If you're curious about coSNARKs after this week's Zk podcast episode featuring Dan Boneh (one of the two original authors of the coSNARKs paper), this thread has you covered! https://x.com/taceo_io/status/1862124669425369581?s=46

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on improving how I communicate about the work I do. One piece of advice that stuck with me was to focus on just one platform at a time (thanks @ishverduzco). That’s why I’ve been mostly active on Twitter lately. While I’m far from mastering it, I’ve realized how much I’ve been missing Farcaster. Feels great to be back!

If you think creating representative benchmarks for ZK is hard, then don't even start thinking about MPC. The addition of network dynamics introduces a whole new level of complexity that could be debated endlessly.

Even before the launch of Ethereum Vitalik talked about the need for private shared state.
