Why do we even need ZK in the first place?
Most advanced dapps hit the same wall:
> Keep everything on-chain: trustless but slow, expensive and super limited
> Move logic off-chain: powerful, but users have to trust a black box
ZK is how you open that black box.
You run heavy stuff off-chain, then ship a tiny proof on-chain that anyone can verify in milliseconds.
That is why @brevis_zk is interesting to me:
> Pico zkVM turns complex computation into verifiable proofs at near real-time for Ethereum blocks
> Their ZK data coprocessor lets protocols use full chain history for rewards, discounts, points etc, without asking users to trust a private server
More compute, more data, same trust assumptions.
So many ZK projects that are popping up this year must be a sign that the narrative is becoming popular
