Today we're sharing our biggest open source release yet: Jolt Alpha, our zkVM built new from the ground up. The UX is excellent and it's time to share what we've learned. In short: it's fast and concise.

crypto published our first annual State of Crypto report. 📊
It shows how far crypto has come — and how early we still are — in building the next generation of the internet. Here's a 🧵 of some highlights.

When memecoins have a moment, people who know better make tortured rationalizations. Normally they might see casino behavior as zero-sum or short-term, but fomo can use the full intellect to justify itself with elaborate stories.

1/4 NFTs are programmable.
Because we're early, NFTs today tend to be very simple. But they can contain complex, mutable state to enable interactivity with people, programs, and other NFTs.
A beautiful example is
@fiveoutofnine
's on-chain chess engine.
I finally deployed my on-chain chess engine NFT: , where you play against the smart contract.
59 moves max per game, 59 games max. Engine, art, metadata are all 100% on-chain.
I spent at least 200-300 hours on this project since October. Mint is free.

Interest in memecoins will come and go, and I'm optimistic that real products/protocols will develop in the end.
But we shouldn't pretend that the casino doesn't set us back. Deterring great founders and giving ammo to politicized regulators has a profound effect.

Memecoins alter how the public, regulators, and entrepreneurs see crypto.
At best, it looks like a risky casino. Or a series of false promises masking a casino.
This deeply affects adoption, regulation/laws, and builder behavior.

Our analysis estimates how much web3 is paying out to creators compared to web2.
Last year, each NFT creator averaged $174,000 in revenue, while Meta paid out $0.10 per user, Spotify paid out $636 per artist, and YouTube paid out $2.47 per channel.

It may still feel distant, but we aren't far from the internet devolving into a place where *most* content has been generated (or can be generated on demand).
Every robust method to prove the origin or history of content involves cryptography and blockchains.
It isn't just AI generated text that is starting to bleed over into search results.
The main image if you do a Google search for Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (whose version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow you have probably hear) is a Midjourney creation right from Reddit.

If an app can collect payment from a mobile crypto wallet (think quick and cheap USDC transfer), merchants could save ~30% and maintain a more direct relationship with users.
The benefits of crypto start becoming very obvious.

Compute is all you need.
For a given amount of compute, ViT and ConvNets perform the same.
