FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: HATERS IN DISBELIEF AS TAPROOT WIZARDS ANNOUNCE $30,000,000.00 SERIES A ROUND (REAL) (Mossad HQ, Tel Aviv) 2 years ago, the Taproot Wizards team inscribed the first 4MB block in bitcoin’s history with an image of a bald wizard. that historic event marked the generational bottom for BTC: in the 2 years that followed, tens of thousands of bitcoiners took a shower for the first time. the most notorious laser-eye maxis called it quits and shut down their podcasts. and the president of the united states of america posted a Taproot Wizards hat on his instagram account. “the $30,000,000.00 raised will allow us to bribe miners and rogue NSA agents to activate OP_CAT” said customer support intern Udi Wertheimer. “with bitcoin mempools clearing up, we would also use the funds to push more spam into the chain, to the benefit of all mining pools (except ocean)” “ok udi but we will also use it to gear up development efforts and make bitcoin magical again with new and exciting protocols based on OP_CAT” says eric.eth, aka Taproot Wizard #0002. “sure, that too”, udi adds. the round is led by @standardcrypto which is doubling down on its major commitment to the bitcoin ecosystem, joined by funds including @cyberfund, @__geometry__, @ColliderVC and others. photos of the investors taking showers were not made available at the time of this release. 🔶🔶🔶 MORE NEWS COMING ANNOUNCEMENT 2 LOADING... 🪄 FOLLOW @TAPROOTWIZARDS AND TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS 🔔

Am i the only one that thinks 5 years for beam chain is realistic if not slightly aggressive timing

I don’t really know what to say here I know a few engs at Succinct and they are good people. But this is not the first time I’ve had to respond to disingenuous marketing FUD and it’s really bumming me out Here's the truth ↓🧵

ZK solves this
It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

Canada is getting ready to drop a 43 page whitepaper
This is the new Canadian army logo. What is even going on here. We don’t get it. Is this abstract art? Space invaders? We’re deeply confused and now we’ve angered ourselves in our confusion.

Leaders lead and at @RiscZero we’re throwing down the gauntlet and setting the new bar to beat. This is just part 1 of a mind blowing 2024. 🤯
The Future of Verifiable Computation Is Coming We're launching R0 zkVM 1.0, the world's first production-ready general purpose zkVM, to enable a future where you can prove anything and verify everywhere. A future where zero knowledge is universal.

Zeth was built in under 2 months and is proving blocks as fast if not faster than most zkEVM rollups Development on Zeth is easy and abstracts away all the traditional ZK math for basic pure Rust.

Extremely excited for Zeth! If you’re looking to build your own zkEVM, zkRollup, zkBridge, or EVM Historic State proofs on Zeth please DM me! Zeth is making ZK development for Ethereum exponentially faster and easier thanks to its foundations in reth and Rust
Introducing Zeth: A Fully Open Source Type 0 zkEVM 🚀 Built on the RISC Zero zkVM and Bonsai, Zeth is a performant, upgradable, and scalable way for developers to ZK prove any Ethereum block ushering in the next generation of ZK and EVM 🧵 1/8 Learn More Below!
