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

How are they dying? 

ZKsync just became the first rollup to process more transactions than ETH in a month

any non-rollup zk products that are not dying?

like, i don't know, anything consumer besides tornado cash?

One-click onboarding to onchain payments. Experience smartest self-custody and hardware-level security. Backed by @thematterlabs | ERC-4337 Grantee

ZKP2P, Zkemail, and @getclave come to mind right away. But there are much others that aren’t specifically “zk startups” that use the tech

For instance, The Graph uses zk tech to provide deterministic queries

You asked for one’s that aren’t dying. Not ones that have product market fit. By that measure most of crypto is “dying”

The most notable zk project to me personally is Aztec. It’s a rollup sure, but if they can actually unlock privacy that’s huge. 

What exactly are you looking for when you say support?

with all the respect to zkemail team, the sheer fact that you're mentioning them in the top-3 picks is precisely the issue

zkemail is a great poc that is unusable by almost anyone

there were many (many) more promising teams that got zero support and since then dissolved

any more examples?
