There are two things the human mind struggles to reason about.
- exponential curves
- recursion

Recursive ZK proofs embody both. No wonder no-one is shouting from the fucking ceilings about how insanely powerful they are?

Haha hey mate :) good to see some quality founders here too ;)

The ELI5 is that ZK tech allows you to check anyone’s work, in exponentially less time. 

When you realise you can check work of checking work (recursion), things get alien.

You can sync the entire 7yr history of Ethereum by downloading a 20kB proof.

Is there a ELI5 recap of what recursive ZK proofs are?

Good to see you here Liam! :)
