The most important skill to master if you want to do well in your career is the skill of focus. I've been thinking a lot about focus in the past years, and I might exactly have the thing that'll change your work output forever...

1/10: The zero-knowledge space is seeing a number of cool zkVM projects, but have you heard of zkCPUs? Here's the thread 🧵
2/10: All zk projects are fundamentally circuits, not the kind of circuits that make up your electronics 📱, arithmetic circuits, which are almost the same but use addition ➕ and multiplication ✖️ and large numbers instead of dealing with bits.

I think we can all agree that we got into crypto because 1) it’s insanely cool tech and 2) the dev community is so friendly, and helpful, and non-toxic in general
Communities don’t have a top down structure by design, and so the strength and the health of a community is usually measured by how well it manages to moderate itself

In the last 6 months I've been helping people contribute to Kimchi, our open source zero-knowledge proof system written in Rust (github.com/o1-labs/proof-…). We went from 5 to 24 contributors who have made amazing contributions!
A lot of the contributors were rust or zkp noobs, and managed to learn a lot through their contributions. If you're interested reach out to me! We also have an introduction here: github.com/o1-labs/proof-… including a video!

My friends always ask me what the heck is blockchain. It’s simple really! 👇
The simplest abstraction is to see cryptocurrency / blockchain / distributed ledger technology as a database running on a single computer…
