Great podcast episode about cryptocurrency and especially Zcash as a social movement of liberation. The conversation is open-minded and authentic.

Really nice blog post by the Scroll zkEVM team about their approach to bringing ZK power to Ethereum — security-first and community-first. I like them because they are building on top of and extending the Zcash Halo ZKP technology.

Good article about the impacts on Freedom of Speech caused by the U.S. government’s indictment of Julian Assange, by Kurt Opsahl, who was at EFF when he penned this and is now part of Filecoin.

Good thread. IMHO all parties involved in this thread are partly right and partly wrong. 😁

I have a ton of respect for anyone working on ZK tech. But I’m skeptical of ZK Alt-L1s for two reasons: 1) There’s a false belief that ZKPs are more efficient on ZK L1s than on Ethereum 2) They're effectively impossible to upgrade. Why you should

This is a good piece of history. Sean Bowe is so unassuming, but the Zcash Sapling protocol that he presents here was absolutely historic. Almost every ZKP project today is built on top of this work.

Excellent deep dive into security and privacy of Zcash. Zcashers should absolutely watch this, but everyone from other projects who cares about security and privacy should really dig into this in order to learn from Zcash’s pioneering example.
