1/ Congratulations to the @0xPolygon team for the announcement of their Polygon #zkEVM! This a huge feat for scaling Ethereum and zk technology.
What’s difficult about zk proofs and scalability, and how does the Polygon zkEVM try to solve them? Read on… 🧵
2/ Zk proofs are time-intensive and expensive to generate. On top of that, EVM support and compatibility is a problem. In order to build on top of a zk rollup, you may need to learn a new coding language and dev environment.
3/ So how does Polygon zkEVM address these issues? They're improving proof-generation times. Reduced costs; more speed; much good.
Polygon zkEVM also makes sure any Ethereum smart contract can be deployed directly onto it. The dev environment isn’t just familiar, it's the same.
4/ In short, you can leverage the power of the Ethereum dev ecosystem with the scale of zk to back it up. This can enable a greenfield of possibilities when it comes to dapp development and traction on zk rollups.
5/5 There's still a lot of work to be done, but we can't wait to try the Polygon zkEVM in production! Check out their docs for more info! polygon.technology/solutions/poly…

2/ We completed our work on remote signers for Lighthouse, offering double signing protection via high watermark software. This let us reach an important milestone: currently, Coinbase Cloud validators are distributed roughly evenly across Lighthouse and Prysm.
3/ Additionally, while we greatly appreciate the Ethereum community's excellent public dashboards to advance client diversity, we are excited to provide a first-hand update: Coinbase Retail now has 65% of its validators on non-Prysm clients.
1/ gm frens! Who else is excited about Superfluid Staking on @osmosiszone ?
In this thread we’ll summarize what we know about the upcoming launch and how you can participate.👇
2/ What is Superfluid Staking? (SFS)
Superfluid staking is the ability to use liquidity provider (LP) tokens to participate in staking on @osmosiszone. This is similar to the idea of liquid staking, but in reverse.
3/ Rather than taking staked assets to DeFi, Superfluid Staking brings DeFi assets to staking.🤯 This aligns cosmonauts with the security of the network. This is possible on @osmosiszone thanks to its application-specific blockchain, or appchain, architecture.
