I have a ton of respect for anyone working on ZK tech. But Iโ€™m skeptical of ZK Alt-L1s for two reasons:. 1) Thereโ€™s a false belief that ZKPs are more efficient on ZK L1s than on Ethereum. 2) They're effectively impossible to upgrade. Why you should stick with Ethereum. [1/n].

We built an entire tech stack:. Blockchain, VM, Leo Lang, SDK, Developer APIs, & WASM tooling. Why?. ZK requires new programming paradigms not found elsewhere. We needed to demonstrate what's possible when privacy and programmability coexist at scale.

You wouldn't share bank statements or identity documents on a billboard. Unfortunately this is how blockchains work right now. @AleoHQ's private smart contracts bring normal privacy expectations to blockchain. So that builders can build apps that normal people will use.

ZK unlocks completely new primitives:. โœ… Finance that respects local privacy.โœ… Governance where no ballot leaks and no count can be faked.โœ… Public systems that verify without exposing citizen data.โœ… AI models that prove decisions without revealing the entire model. This is.

ZK fundamentally challenges a core assumption in computing: that verification requires visibility. This isn't just an iteration of blockchain tech: it's a complete paradigm shift. We can now prove computational integrity without re-execution, enabling private computation with.

Public stablecoins have found product-market fit, with volumes reaching $30 trillion in 2024. But they're only the first phase of adoption. When you send USDC today, you expose your entire financial history to the recipient. Everything from past transactions, current holdings,.

Here's my take:. Privacy isn't optional for real-world adoption, it's fundamental infrastructure. Without it, we're building a mass surveillance financial system by default. Private stablecoins must exist first as the foundation. The on/off ramp challenge is significant but.

Extremely common crypto refrainโ€ฆ. But wtf is my cousin in rural India going to do with USDC? With Wise he can buy groceries a few seconds after I hit send. Stables are ~useless without on and off-ramps, and those are the reasons this map looks like it does.

The UI/UX of money in crypto is fundamentally broken. When you send USDC, the recipient sees your entire financial history -- past, present, and future. Imagine if using Apple Pay at a cafe meant revealing your bank statements forever. This isn't what users expect.

Privacy is fundamental. Just as HTTPS enabled e-commerce by securing credit card data, private payments will unlock real-world blockchain usage. Right now we are stuck in the HTTP stage of crypto. This is why @AleoHQ is focused on private smart contracts.

On 1), by my definition of more efficient, re-executing 10 seconds of computation per block by 3000+ nodes equates to 30,000+ seconds (or 8.5 hours) of wasted work per 10 second block.

ZK fundamentally changes blockchain architecture. From mainframe computing (everyone shares block time) to personal computing (execute locally, verify globally). This is how we scale.
