20/ There are entire L1 blockchains dedicated to using the succinctness of ZKPs for scaling, such as Mina Protocol 🪶 @ ETH Bogotá + Devcon.

Imagine the entire state of a blockchain stored in a set of ZK proofs shared across nodes and updated in parallel.

You could set up a new node in seconds!

My colleague David Wong wrote a fantastic article introducing the concept of zkApps on his blog: cryptologie.net/article/575/wh…

I am thrilled that I get to help shape the dev experience for this new kind of platform via creating zkApp tooling alongside my team at O(1) Labs every day.

What is zkOracles?

For context, zkOracles refers to the capability to connect real world data to blockchain in a trustless way, using HTTPs. No need for trusted oracles or custom website integrations.
