I have relocated to London exploring and learning lots of topics Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss deeper topics across AI, crypto, startups, and even science in other domains :)

zkEVM has arguably become the gold standard technology for scaling Ethereum. In this article, I want to share some of the lessons we have learned while building the zkEVM, and how we’ve been thinking of different trade-offs along the way.

Our zk research team has been working on something super cool! It has potential to become the most performant zk[E]VM targeting at real time proving. It combined the best parts of proving system, field choice and VM flow: GKR parallelization + Smaller field arithmetic + Pay

General-purpose zk-Rollup is the most promising scaling solution for Ethereum today, and we consider the “zkEVM” approach supporting native bytecode verification to be the holy grail. In our 1st post of the series, we will attempt to explain why. Article:

A true zkEVM should respect the EVM specification as defined in the Ethereum yellow paper. The term "zkEVM" shouldn't be abused. Compiler+zkVM falls into another category -- language compatible with efficient prover Amazing work from the Consensys team👇

“zkEVM” has been abused in so many marketing materials. However, there are only two zkEVM that achieves bytecode level compatibility and has a full proof on mainnet. @Scroll_ZKP and @0xPolygon zkEVM

We're looking for a curious and creative protocol researcher to join our team at Scroll! Help us build a truly secure, scalable, and decentralized zero-knowledge rollup by solving open problems around protocol and mechanism design.

We are helping Ethereum to achieve its end goal - build a type 1 zkEVM. At the same time, we are maintaining a product-ready efficient type 2 zkEVM branch for our mainnet. When we say something, we actually do it. Really proud that 8 of the top 16 contributors are from us :)

Fun fact: the @Scroll_ZKP team has contributed ~50% of the upstream @privacyscaling zkEVM codebase over the past 2 years. When we say we are building for the community, we mean it.

Scroll's strategy: Focus on building, ignore marketing noise surrounding us, remain highly Ethereum-aligned, and stay closely attuned to Ethereum's principles and values. Our efforts and dedication will undoubtedly pay off in the long run :)

Deepseek @deepseek_ai 一些个人视角中国绝对不缺特别聪明的人，AI这块儿最大的卡脖子因素还是卡不够，计算资源有限，小团队很难获得特别多的实战经验，能有大规模实战经验的团队就更是少之又少。国内有团队能做出来这样的成就真的是应该自豪，并且还是开源的...真是硬靠实力出圈

Need a l2beat for wallets, it's so crucial for every single user, if anything goes wrong with wallet implementation, funds will go to zero... I really have no idea about the security of most wallets behind their UX, it makes more established wallet brand >> new features.

One super interesting take from a conversation with @drakefjustin: Bitcoin’s security model will be broken in 10 years. ETH will be the only money left — ultrasound, credibly neutral, decentralized, and economically sound. Here’s a deeper dive into why Bitcoin’s model might not
