All the great things you love about @arbitrum + ZK . For the longest time we had to justify why Arbitrum wasn’t named after a particular proving mechanism . Our response was: we’ll adopt the best stack for users and builders.
We're bringing ZK to the Arbitrum ecosystem with @SuccinctLabs. Today we're unveiling Tandem's partnership with Succinct, enabling faster capital movement and simpler integration for developers through the power of modular ZK provers. 🧵.

Stablecoin issuance is a "leaky" business. Before rates were attractive for stablecoin issuance, most stablecoin issuer capture a very small % of the overall the value they create. Value is skewed towards the chains, DeFi, payment teams. All while the issuer has to maintain
