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

Share some names/data? Every ZK startup I know seems to be doing great, and I'm sure there will be x10 more of them over the next several years. It's normal for many startups to die off, that's the nature of the investment structure, but hard for me to believe the ecosystem is not growing.

teams dissolving, returning raised funds, outright vanishing into oblivion, yes

you don't see it from the outside of the industry
