ZK tech had been kept away from the very people it was initially designed to protect. Because proving by you and me is hard. This hits me hard. That's why we need to delegate. This is why I truly believe a private proof market is a necessity for the future. A necessity for ZK

An important consideration for those building infra is not just how to build it. It's importantly how expansive your offering needs to be. building for one chain or more chains? building for one tech stack or more tech stacks? building for modular composability or with

Vanishree Rao pulling out the emotions for privacy and why its important for Solana to be the fastest private L1. We need to obfuscate in some areas because the dangers of too much public info! Privacy Advocacy is the next meta for blockchains imo. Too much is happening with
