Product lead @boundless_xyz l Prev @risczero @avalabs @Cornell l My own thoughts that will probably change
- $ZKC tokenomics are hot
- Wake up, @Google is adopting ZK. One reason ZK will be adopted is it reduces the security overhead of companies who manage large data sets of sensitive information. It is not uncommon for companies to spend 10s of billions a year protecting this data. Reduce sensitive data ->
- 1/ Introducing the largest Solana Protocol change ever: Alpenglow, Solana's new consensus protocol conceived by the Anza Research team. Say goodbye to Tower BFT and Proof of History. Say hello to Votor & Rotor 🧵👇
- One of the remaining barriers for ZK adoption on @Bitcoin is the verification cost. Layeredge helps amortize the verification cost across all ZK applications in the ecosystem to unlock programability. Powered by @boundless_xyz1/ Scaling Bitcoin-backed Internet just took a huge leap. LayerEdge will be leveraging @RiscZero's zkVM and @boundless_xyz, bringing scalable, trust-minimized proof aggregation to the Bitcoin-backed internet.
00:00 - .5Q cycle epoch on @boundless_xyz this week. The largest and most powerful set of provers in the world
- If you are starting a company today, ask yourself what you would do if ZK was a 100x cheaper. That is where we are going, think bigger be @boundless_xyz
- With @boundless_xyz , another set of provable protocols and applications are unlocked We won't just yap about it, we will show it 🍓
- There are a few high schoolers now running clusters of 16+ GPUs on @boundless_xyz, many of who are on the leaderboard. Starting up your own prover network has now gone from a 10m+ company a few years back, to a summer project for teenagers. At @boundless_xyz we will continue to
- “@boundless_xyz is about creating thriving businesses.” - @sshankar Boundless is committed to driving abundance for everyone by tackling every meaningful use case, we won’t wait for CT to reach consensus. We’ve already done this for ZK technology, from zkVMs to network design.
- 2025 is the year of ZK for all chains. For @solana it has already started: - @LightProtocol reducing the cost of state rent with ZK compression - @bulletxyz building a network extension, giving best in class UX and throughput - @arcium bringing confidentiality to applicationsSolana's zk and verifiability sector is the dark horse you probably didn’t know about. Here’s a quick roundup of zk, verifiability, and privacy projects on Solana 🧵
