We are entering a new era. Early zkTLS implementations have a lot of compromises across trust, UX, speed, and developer experience. But they’re finally far enough along where we can use them to accelerate our product while tolerating the trade offs (which will improve) This wasn’t true ~60 days ago. I say this not as a recent convert to the zkTLS bandwagon (many rn) but after waiting 2 years for this to arrive. We built icebreaker around the thesis that data will become open, powered by zkTLS and similarly disruptive technologies. However, it will take a lot longer for apps to manifest because very few are building interoperable applications on top of this data. Aside from us, web2 will be the bigger early adopter of this tech because there are very clear value props around attacking competitors. Would love to see more VC investment in other *applications* (incl. competitors) building using interoperable zkTLS data.

Recently went down a water standards rabbit hole and would bet many PhDs would fail in answering what filters can effectively remove PFAS. In order to filter out a health related contaminant, a filter needs to be NSF 53 *for that contaminant*. Most manufacturers will just get an NSF 53 cert for one thing (like lead), then market their filters as if they've received the certs for all the baddies, like PFAS. Fooling a lot of people, even Consumer Reports (see pic) What you want in general is a cert for each contaminant. PFAS are special. Here the NSF level has varied over the years of testing, starting at 70 ppt, then moving to 20 ppt, which is still 5x the current 2024 standard, and >1,000x the EPA recommended standard of specific subclasses like PFOA. Unfortunately that means the only solution right now is to understand from an engineering POV what types of filtration mechanisms are actually effective in removing PFAS. Then buy a good filter of that type and cross your fingers.
