the 'zk app' community (of which I consider myself a part) frequently overcomplicates things

simple mechanisms are often how technologies reach adoption (think of the AMM as the starting point for dexes)

{membership proof + arbitrary sig}  circuit (i.e. sapir-ecdsa https://github.com/personaelabs/sapir) is our AMM


efficient ecdsa (2022) --> spartan ecdsa (2023) --> sapir ecdsa (2024)

relentless

reminds me of bruce lee's "one punch practiced a thousand times"
