I read the code for the new Euro stablecoin and they decided the best option was for the bank to have to do an eth tx to process every single transfer.... It makes sense tbh, such a radical commitment to inefficiency in the name of regulation could only come from a French bank

It's sad to see some junior devs still using 'console.log("got here")' to debug... Most senior devs I know, thanks to many years of experience use 'console.log("please god end my suffering");' as their primary debugging tool.

I noticed something 100x funnier: THEY HAVE TO DO A BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION TO PROCESS YOUR APPROVALS. They coded it so they have to whitelist all users, process all user transfers, and even process your ERC20 approvals before they process your 'transferFrom' lmao

There are probably fewer than 1000 people who know enough about zero knowledge proofs to make new ones. For even junior developers, there exists huge first mover opportunity. More people should get over the perception that ZKPs are hard and go build some.
