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.

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 ↓🧵

Introducing zkVM 1.0: The Future of Verifiable Computation🌐
Today, we're excited to launch the world's first and most performant, production-ready zkVM.
zkVM 1.0 makes zero-knowledge proofs scalable, accessible, and cost-effective for any chain.
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. 🤯
Excited to be in HK! If anyone wants to meetup feel free to DM
The team is in Hong Kong for #web3festival 🌏
Connect with Head of Strategy @li_steven1 at one of his many talks to learn how @RiscZero is leading a revolution in zero knowledge.
Shots fired😎
Our zkVM Performance Upgrade Roadmap for Q1, Q2 2024 is live. TLDR:
✔️ 7-10x improvement in global performance
✔️ Upgrades and new features for custom accelerator circuits
✔️ 20x + cost improvements by the end of 2024

@li_steven1 talked about Zeth, Risc0's take on zkEVM, deceptively simple and powerful!
youtu.be/3A6uj4QZBLs?list=PL…
docs.google.com/presentation…
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
Excited to work with all the great teams building on @RiscZero! And can't wait to share other innovative projects we have brewing up behind the scenes.
Feel free to reach out to me about anything and everything zk
