Very nice contribution to the space from the team @LayerZero_Core The maintenance burden that will occur as we all ultimately move to a multi-zkVM future needs to be reduced and this is a great step in the right direction.
The zk ecosystem has never had its Linux moment - until now. Introducing ZeroOS, a universal modular Library OS for zkVMs. We’re releasing ZeroOS today as a public good, and are honored to have @danboneh as a co-author of the whitepaper, linked in the thread below.

At CCE today and tomorrow One year ago at CCE I presented the foundation of @boundless_xyz in public for the first time. Today those ideas have turned into a protocol that has resulted in a 20x cost reduction and a 200x increase in proving capacity for customers

One of, if not the biggest risk when building a fully decentralized protocol like @boundless_xyz or @graphprotocol isn’t the design philosophy—it’s the technical execution. In theory, decentralization should deliver a better product. In practice, eclipsing the DX, cost

This will be built for ZK proving @boundless_xyz POVW today already provides an objective meter for proving, and with a few tweaks can be used to create a future contract on chain Proving will be able to be traded like oil before you know it
We need a good trustless onchain gas futures market. (Like, a prediction market on the BASEFEE) I've heard people ask: "today fees are low, but what about in 2 years? You say they'll stay low because of increasing gaslimit from BAL + ePBS + later ZK-EVM, but do I believe you?"

Seeing our prover's pricing from a few months ago get destroyed on the @boundless_xyz market is such a bitter sweet moment. I am shocked at the pace in which prices on the market are improving

Overrated: Prediction markets as the replacement for most news in the next 2 years Underrated: Prediction market volumes as a tool for cutting through noise in the weekly news cycle

Great post A reminder that the real bet is crypto’s 1000x future. Picking one project or another might optimize your upside, but the real value is in building something meaningful together.
In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders, the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate, it’s indifference. By default, nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week, and I’ve never seen so much

Easy process to follow that enables 10x engineers 1) Set clear and precise goals 2) Develop tight feedback loops (This one I see missed often) 3) Low effort process to measure and visualize progress

The @ziskvm team is one of my favorite in the space at the moment, just relentless high performance engineering to achieve the ZK endgame for Etheruem. Huge Kudos to @jbaylina and Co
This is the result of two year of hard work @ziskvm We are committed to prove Ethereum in real time Our Girona cluster (16×5090) delivers all requirements for real-time Ethereum proving: • 128-bit security target • <300 kB proof size • Post-quantum readiness • <10 kW

Although it was more costly to build, making proving open to anyone has been one of the best decisions we’ve made at @boundless_xyz. I recently met a prover who is building a compute market-maker that uses major AI cloud platforms to set a price ceiling on the market! The

Just met with a prover in the community that has done: BTC Mining, POW ETH mining, POW ETH validating, POS @boundless_xyz proving, POVW A great data point on proving being the new mining. Come join the Boundless proving community today.

I for one love that the GPUs get so much faster each year, ZK go brrrr

Still think these companies claiming GPUs generate the same revenue for 5+ years is way worse
Every company listed below has suspicious revenue recognition. The actual chart with ALL the give-and-take deals would be unreadable. The future will regard this a picture of fraud, not a flywheel. True end demand is ridiculously small. Almost all customers are funded by their

Congrats to the team at @build_on_bob! In addition to being the first Hybrid ZK Rollup on the market, they are on the forefront of making Bitcoin a more accessible asset for Defi. Powered by @boundless_xyz @conduitxyz
