0/ I have covered many privacy-focused projects in one way or the other since I've started my Twitter journey ๐Ÿฅทโœจ

a thread of threads featuring $ALEO, $MANTA, $MINA, $AZTEC, $DUSK, $ZEC, $RAIL, $SCRT & $ROSE

(0/13) ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ let's quickly remind ourselves why #privacy matters ๐Ÿ‘‡

2/ so, let's have a look at the projects that enable privacy on public blockchains. Many of them rely on #zk technology, so it might be worth revisiting the below thread ๐Ÿ‘‡

3/ let's start with @AleoHQ, a programmable #zk-powered L1 that natively supports #privacy ๐Ÿ‘‡

4/ next up @MantaNetwork, the zk-powered #privacy hub for the #Polkadot ecosystem, which I have covered in the two below threads ๐Ÿ‘‡



5/ another one of my favourites is @MinaProtocol, a succinct blockchain powered by #zk-proofs ๐Ÿ‘‡

6/ @aztecnetwork is one of the most powerful use cases, not only supporting private txs on #L2 but also bringing #privacy directly to $ETH L1 apps via #AztecConnect ๐Ÿ‘‡

7/ @DuskFoundation is a #zk-powered L1 focused on providing the base layer for a compliant & #privacy-preserving #RegFi ecosystem ๐Ÿ‘‡

8/ the godfather of on-chain privacy is undoubtedly @zscash, which I have mentioned multiple times, but covered in most detail here ๐Ÿ‘‡

9/ similar to @aztecnetwork, @RAILGUN_Project enables private transactions and smart contract interactions. However, it is not a #L2 but rather a collection of smart contracts ๐Ÿ‘‡

10/ while all of these projects rely on zero knowledge proofs to enable #privacy, the last two projects in this thread make use of what is called trusted execution environments, a.k.a. #TEEs ๐Ÿ‘‡

11/ the most prominent example is probably @SecretNetwork, that enables private smart contracts & #DeFi using a #TEE infrastructure ๐Ÿ‘‡

12/ last but not least, @OasisProtocol also supports a Cipher ParaTime, which is a private & programmable execution layer, implemented as an optimistic #rollup on the $ROSE consensus layer ๐Ÿ‘‡

13/ so much exciting innovation out there ๐Ÿคฏ

follow me for more on privacy & zk tech ๐Ÿฅทโœจ

0/ @CelestiaOrg's modular #DA layer enables new network designs and makes spinning up rollups easier than ever before

a ๐Ÿงต featuring #RollMint, @dymensionXYZ, @Sagaxyz__, @EvmosOrg and @fuellabs_ exploring the modular future ๐Ÿ”ฎโœจ

(0/34) ๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ I have talked a lot about modularity and how @CelestiaOrg's modular #DA layer marks the beginning of a new era in blockchain architecture

if you want a summary on that, check my thread below ๐Ÿ‘‡

2/ what I want to show you today, is how these novel architectures that @CelestiaOrg enables could look like, how @CelestiaOrg makes blockchain development easier & more accessible than ever before and how the modular building blocks of the future fit together

0/ @aztecnetwork is a #zk rollup that acts as a privacy shield for ERC20 token transfers & $ETH smart contract interactions ๐Ÿฅทโœจ

zk & #privacy is the next bull narrative & @aztecnetwork enables private txs & #DeFi in the biggest ecosystem

dont sleep anon ๐Ÿ‘€

$AZTEC ๐Ÿงต (0/33)๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
1/ first of all, let's quickly recap the basics. @aztecnetwork is a zero knowledge rollup

similar to optimistic rollups, zk rollups are scaling solution that "rolls up" transactions into batches on an off-chain execution layer rather than executing on L1

2/ from a tech perspective, it is worth mentioning that @aztecnetwork's rollup is secured by a PLONK-based #zk proof system

learn more about #PLONK in the thread linked below ๐Ÿ‘‡

0/ What are Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Proofs (NIZKPs)? ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ

(0/10) ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ First of all, what are zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) in general?

ZKPs are a #cryptographic technique that allow individuals or entities to prove to another that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement.
2/ One variant of ZKPs are non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs (NIZKPs), which don't require interaction between the certifier and verifier.

0/ What is Homomorphic Encryption (HE)? ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธโœจ

(0/10) ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
1/ HE is a cryptographic tool that allows you to perform certain types of computations directly on the homomorphically encrypted ciphertext, generating the same results as if you performed the operations on the plaintext.
2/ There are two types of HE: partially homomorphic encryption (PHE) & fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). PHE allows for a limited number of operations on the ciphertext (e.g. addition or multiplication), while FHE allows for any computation to be performed on the ciphertext.
