Excited about this project. Blockchain interop is the final frontier. Fast, cheap verification of ZK state proofs is the way. Nori is leading the charge.

I've long appreciated how the zkSync team balances product and technology. Appreciate how they're using ZK, precommits, and TEEs to offers devs tradeoffs between security and speed.

In a future where AI diagnoses your health and plans your financial future, zkML will keep your blood pressure and bank account balance private. Been super fun working on this. More to come.

I've been super impressed with the team developing the Rust node at Mina Foundation (httpz) 🪶. It's no small feat to reverse engineer a recursive ZK proof system written in OCaml. Once ready it'll be way easier to optimize MSM and make other improvements. github.com/openmina/openm… ...

I particularly excited about the protocol feature development, especially access to the protocol state. One foot in front of the other towards proof singularity.

I was a kid who ran a web server from my dorm room back when that was cypherpunk. I love the idea of the people's internet, an open network of p2p protocols through which people (and their authorized agents!) can organize and take action. Mina's web node is the new web server.

Running a testnet sequencer on Aztec and forked stealthnote to start diving more deeply into Noir. So far impressed with how enjoyable the experience is. Shout out to josh crites for what seems like 24/7 dev support.

I’m still a little surprised every time I learn about a new L1 - e.g. Plume - RWAfi Chain, Nexus, Arda Global - but then it only strengthens my conviction in the idea of the internet of blockchains.

This introduction to Circle STARKs and Stwo by Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io is so good. From finite fields to algebraic cyclic groups to Stwo to practical applications in Ethereum. “If you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for
