Who's up for an update before leaving for the weekend?
🧵Let's take a quick look at some of this week's developments. 🧵
Our tech team continues to move through your feedback for #Zafari Advanced Staking.
We're moving forward, knocking out the most critical items so we can move to the next round.
We also reached (and exceeded!) our follower goal in #CoinMarketCap.
Thanks to over 2700 of you, we are now within a select group of #Gravity members, which will open up incredible networking and partnership opportunities for $ZKP.
We'll announce the giveaway winners next week!
This week we also welcome a new member of our content and social team, @BackpackerBaba.
Narender will help us scale our content and marketing production. In terms of market distress, we BUIDL!
🔎We also spent a considerable amount of time digging out ancient scriptures, spelunking through caves, and reading anthropology papers to bring you a fascinating article on the history and philosophy of privacy.
Why’s everyone so excited about the possibilities of zk-SNARKs?
What makes them believe it’s a paradigm change in how we interact with each other in the 21st century?
The only way to figure that out is to look at the actual utilities of #zkSNARKs – A thread 🧵👇
Zero-knowledge succinct non-interactive arguments of knowledge (zk-SNARKs) are a truly ingenious method of proving that something is true without revealing any other information.
Let’s have a look at zk-SNARK utilities. These can be broadly classified into four categories: ⏬
#1: Anonymous authorization
Anonymous authorizations using zk-SNARKs can prove that one owns a monthly pass to a subway/metro without revealing the card’s ID.
Or prove that one is in a list of allowed countries/states without revealing from which one exactly.
Here's the current status of LaunchDAO registration:
- We have reached 4200 registrations just now which so far is a great turnout!

We have identified a small issue where a tiny portion of KYCd users were not able to register for LaunchDAO. Their wallets were deemed invalid due to a syntax issue.
Our team is about to deploy a solution to allow for all of you who had issues to register for LaunchDAO! 🚀

Tomorrow, 2pm GMT we intend on deploying the $PreZKP minting and claiming functionality. 😎
We will send an email to everyone who has performed KYC to invite them to Claim their $preZKP and register, if they haven't already.
24h ago we kicked off registrations for LaunchDAO. 🔥
So far, over 3600 community members have registered to participate in an industry first: We are going to vote for launching the @ZKPanther protocol in a private, decentralized manner.
This is huge. Why?

The number of registered users is extremely relevant (and growing).
