At @StatelessVC we have been researching blockchain interoperability and the future of cross-chain communication. I wrote a research piece breaking down frameworks and innovative protocols to better understand the landscape.

(research piece linked at the end) During the 2021 bull run, alt L1s gained users and TVL. Resulting in Ethereum's L1 dominance declining from ~95% to ~55%. This evolution created the need for bridges between blockchains. As a result, usage and TVL for bridges skyrocketed.

1/ I am going to begin sharing some of the internal research I have been working on at @StatelessVC… here we go

Stateless Research Roundup #1:

This past week I spent a lot of time in the @cosmos ecosystem, so let's start there. 2/ As part of my research into the Cosmos ecosystem, I attempted to "map the Cosmos"...  

If I missed something, let me know. If you are building something cool, would love to hear from you.

1/ Here we go... ZK World pt. 3 all about @zksync 

If you need a preface please check out pt. 1 on L2 scaling and pt. 2 on zero-knowledge proofs

It’s TIME! 🧵👇

1/ In the first part of my deep dive into zero-knowledge rollups (zkr), I focused on the history of L2 scaling

In the second part (below), my focus shifts to the wild world of zero-knowledge proofs (zkp), the underlying technology for zkr

cryptoexplainere60.substack.com/p/zk-world-pt-… 2/ The concept of a zkp came from a 1985 academic paper out of @MIT

The idea is there is a prover and a verifier - the prover can prove the truth of information to the verifier w/o revealing the information itself
