the founder of Google shilling Zcash btwprobably nothingJosh Swihart 🛡 (@jswihart):Sergey Brin on Zcash and zk. https://t.co/rht6TqgXjr ...

Technology & Strategy - Ethereum is transitioning into a zk chain, differentiating itself from other blockchains [1] - Ethereum is employing zk technology for maximum scaling and decentralization, avoiding shortcuts [2] - Ethereum's approach is highly ambitious and unique [3] - Ethereum is upgrading to 2nd generation cryptography [4] Scaling & Infrastructure - Layer 1 (L1) will support global DeFi with large blocks (10 thousand TPS) and nodes that can run on a phone [4] - Layer 2 (L2) will handle other applications, including general-purpose L2s like Base/Arb and appchain L2s like Lighter [4] - Other blockchains are scaling with nodes requiring data centers [4] - Bitcoin is using 1st generation cryptography [2]

Technology & Infrastructure - Rollup tokens are being acquired for "zk exposure" (零知识证明)[1] - Cysic is shipping hardware capable of 1.31 million proofs per second, contradicting claims of impossibility [1] - Infrastructure layer is generating significant revenue [1] Challenges & Opportunities - High proof costs are impacting margins [1] - The industry is moving beyond application layer focus [1] - There's a shift from chasing AI agents to focusing on hardware solutions [1]

RT Tim Carstens Ⓥ✨ is hacking zk (@intoverflow)Yep! And it’s all backed 1:1 with actual reserves, ready for redemptionRight?Right??? ...
