I said this many times in 2024.. and not sure how many heard me, so one last time 📣 

Zero-knowledge proofs are not just for scaling! i.e not just zkL2/ rollups, validity proofs, or a tool to make ETH 3.0. 

They are also for privacy and a way for off-chain compute to trigger on-chain actions. Faster ZKP scheme are always great! But smaller and more portable is what I work on DAILY. 

The demand-side, g2m, prover network design, and tech differs greatly with these assumptions.  🦄

privacy

The answer to why would normies use a privacy enhancing product has been historically:

1. It’s as good as the no privacy product.
2. Somebody they care about refuses to use anything else (eg urs truly will only speak to their friends&family on Signal).

Now with advent of programmable cryptography and global scale decentralized databases the answer will simply become:

It’s better than the no privacy product due to increased competition driven by permissionless innovation with data.

I feel bad for Politicians

Their jobs need them to have a stance on *everything*

Even for shits they can't care less
