'TPS' must be removed from every scientific conversation about blockchain performance unless it refers to pure payment txs.

Every ecosystem should align on a metric over node resource usage like gas per second, even that isn't sufficiently nuanced.

makes sense

The meme of putting light clients in toasters is half ludicrous joke, half weirdly serious requirement

Being able to verify a system enables true decentralization and autonomy

Light clients need to be 1st class participants. They also need to be light enough to put in a toaster

instead of “DAO,” which foregrounds an entity, we could have used “decentralized free assembly,” which emphasizes upholding a right, similar to how people understand censorship resistance upholding freedom of expression

Internchain protobuf files is a mess, you can’t have a single reliable source for those. New proto files versions remove old structs still used on other chains preventing you from using those files to index old chains and newer chains. Have to “merge” those proto files manually…

tldr: skip went so far as training an elite unit of carrier pigeons to make sure your tokens get to the right place

In our latest blog post, we do a deep dive on how we accelerated browser-based ZK proving, using wasm, web workers, and protocol design tweaks that allow optimistic proving:

Stay tuned for another post coming soon, about using WebGPU to go even faster!

Felt like hacking this weekend so I added ZK controlled accounts to the Cosmos-SDK using gnark

Required 0 changes to Accounts or Txs, just a new PubKey type.

Can now control a Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ SDK account with an arbitrary ZK circuit.

Got it all working and cleaned up:

Llama 3 just changed the LLM game.

People are finding wild use cases at GPT-4 level. There is a massive movement in the open source community.

10 examples (and ways to use Llama 3):

Our new speeding ZKWASM prover is now open-source. With this ZKWASM prover, you can obtain proof of 1 million WASM instructions in 17 seconds (with 1 4090 GPU).

Blockchains are computers that enforce rules.

This simple idea will change the world.
