Here it goes: ZKP is to computation what zipping is to a file. Someone has done the computation and compresses it for you to check it. Sometime this computation hides things sometimes it does not… When hides, it aims at privacy. When it does not, it aims at scaling

ok banger episode I brought on the godfather of ZK and one of the cofounders of Zcash to talk about: - zcash - wtf is zk and how does it work (for technical and non-technical people) - scaling Bitcoin - L2s like Starkware and Base - FHE vs. MPC vs. ZK vs. TEE enjoy

LFG!!!

It is Ready @ready_co

The future of interop isn’t “which bridge to trust.” It’s not having to trust one at all. 🇦🇷 Join us at trustless:// at @EFDevcon on November 18-19. 📝 trustlessconference.com

Asking here: Did not FTX reimburse the total amount if the balance was in USD? They completed the reimbursement but they only reinbursed 84% although my balance was in USD at the time of the collapse

i am so fucking bullish about all the things happening on starknet. damn it's hard to contain the excitement, months of hard work and relentless execution starting to pay off. something is happening. i can feel it, it's brewing. it has been brewing for the past months, even few years to be honest. while most of the world believed we where dead. we never stopped building. cooking like crazy. now the results start to be visible. it's not only anymore about having the best tech. the world will understand. it's happening. the epic come back of starknet is here, starting with btcfi. bullish.

🧵 Keccacheck: towards a SNARK friendly Keccak Reilabs publishes a method to batch-verify Keccak hashes with <4000 R1CS constraints, enabling new levels of efficiency for the ZK ecosystem. [1/1]

In the last year, Kraken OB on USDT/EUR was within 2bps range on the daily vs USD/EUR. Talk about efficient market 😀

🚨 Hot take: Most blockchains aren’t blockchains. If you need to trust a foundation, a multisig, or a council not to screw you, you’ve just built AWS with a token. Without trustlessness, you’ve got an expensive database running on vibes.

Fun fact of the day and a reminder that Wall Street has a sense of humor: Bernie Madoff invented Payment For Order Flow

TIL that Swift only processes 40 million daily messages

I just proved #Fibonacci 59011 in 1.80 s on my Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max with Cairo M from @KakarotZkEvm and settled my proof on @hyli_org! Download the FibRace app and try to beat my performance! #FibRace

The world is slowing moving to FX using crypto at the national level

You may have heard about Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL). We’ve seen excitement building which is great, but we want to set expectations. ✨What is EIL? EIL is a trustless cross-L2 interop layer. It enables seamless, multichain transactions while keeping the user in control and preserving censorship resistance and privacy. ✨Who is EIL for? EIL is designed for ethereum and its rollups. Because they share ethereum as a root of trust, we can remove the need for trusted intermediaries. Other L1s don’t share that trust root, which is why they require bridges with trust assumptions. EIL is not meant to replace those, but to give ethereum’s rollup ecosystem a native, trust-minimized path for interop. ✨Where are we now? To be clear, we are still early on. We care most about making sure interop preserves ethereum’s core values. That north star is clear, but the details will take time and iteration. ✨What’s next? We plan to share a more detailed spec in mid-October, ahead of Devconnect in November, where we’ll open things up for broader community feedback and experimentation. Bottom line: expect progress, but also plenty of iterations 🤝

Something I realized is how big crypto has become. For example, Thailand has roughly $200b outflowing from the country yearly. Locally, Bitkub did $25b denominated in Thai Bath. It is not even the largest country when looking at this metric. Guess which one it is 😀

I came to the office in a suit in honor of Grinta upgrade. We shall give Grinta the respect it deserves ✅Three independent sequencers building blocks and reaching consensus ✅Mempool for each sequencer ✅Native fee market ✅Sub-second pre-conf ✅Paymaster
