@RiscZero, Product Lead for @boundless_xyz l Prev @avalabs @Cornell Cowboy l My own thoughts that will probably change

Cathie wood is bullish ZK for Ethereum, the EF is using zkVMs across the board, many great teams are pushing ZK forward. ZK is the endgame.
I can’t say I understand all of the details here, but the Ethereum Foundation does seem to be proposing the right moves for scalability and privacy to maintain its lead in the institutional world.

One of the beauties of ZK, constant execution cost that scales with demand.
Blockchain designs have been flawed. What do cloud services do when they are at capacity?.→ Raise capacity. What do chains do when they are at capacity?.→ Raise fees. If you think we don't need better chains anymore think again.

.@RiscZero brings the cryptography, @boundless_xyz brings the economy.
risc0 (@RiscZero) brings the cryptography. boundless (@boundless_xyz) brings the economy. we bring the machines, and the hunger to build. is this still zk compute, or a movement now? 🫠. one where anyone with a device can power the future. verifiable work. and we’re early!.

Hyperliquid’s TAM is all on chain trading, Etheurem’s TAM is all of finance. Financial institution’s risk tolerance forces them to either want full control or true credible neutrality. Hyperliquid currently provides neither while Ethereum provides both.

Here to increase the GDP of the verifiable internet.
A long time ago. I nearly joined stripe as a Sr Manager in Seattle. During the interview every interviewer told me the same thing. @stripe mission - “Increase the GDP of the internet”. Project XLII from @boundless_xyz has that scope! We will have to get moving on that in a few.

A Framework for ZK-Agnostic Apps!. As proving costs drop, multi-prover backends become more viable for security. We’ll need lightweight frameworks like this to make integrating them seamless.
Introducing zkSDK: A flexible way to create zero-knowledge (zk) applications tailored to any ZK backend. This was a thesis for my @UWaterloo undergrad.

Now on @boundless_xyz:.- External provers are doing 95%+ of proving.- External requestors are doing 90%+ of requests. @boundless_xyz will be an unstoppable protocol day 1.

Recent progress across zkVM projects is inspiring, but the volume of announcements can make it hard for developers to identify production-ready options. If you want to build today verify that a stack provides:.- Comprehensive Rust crate support.- Continuations.- Permissionless.

There is no reason to stop at SNARK POW, with Proof of Verifiable Work (POVW) we now have the means to retroactively reward provers for the amount of work they have done after a proof is generated. No need to have provers race and waste work. Just bid on jobs and get paid after,.
SNARK PoW is more efficient than PoS. - higher gas limit bc no re-execution.- faster blocks bc way less networking on the fork choice rule bc PoW doesn't have voting .- zero amortised wasted energy/work by IVCing bundles of proven transactions instead of grinding nonces. -.
