Explainer06 Jan 2023SNARKs vs STARKs: Zcash, Mina, Dusk, Manta, Starknet and zkSyncLong explainer on SNARKs and STARKs: Zcash pioneered SNARKs, Mina uses them for a 22kb chain, Dusk and Manta apply them for privacy, zkSync for scaling. STARKs, used by Starknet, avoid trusted setup but carry compute overhead.Thesis21 Jan 2022The bull case for privacy: ZK proofs, TEEs and the projects behind themMega thread arguing privacy will become central to crypto. Explains zkSNARKs and trusted execution environments, then maps projects to each approach: Zcash, Manta, Dusk and Mina on ZK, Phala and Secret on TEEs, and Haven for private assets.Map05 Jun 2024The Ultimate ZK Landscape 2.0: zkVMs, zkEVMs, proving, aggregation and privacyLandscape of the ZK stack by category: zkVMs, zkEVMs, universal proving and verification layers, proof aggregation, hardware acceleration and privacy projects. Asks the audience what is missing.

11 Jul 2023Privacy stack reading map: ZK, HE and TEE primers plus leading privacy projectsArgues privacy will be a major narrative and indexes his primers on ZK proofs, homomorphic encryption and TEEs together with deep dives on eleven privacy projects, flagging DarkFi as the next one to cover.MapPrivacyZK

13 Jan 2023Privacy project map: ZK-based chains vs TEE-based networksGroups privacy projects by technique: ZK-powered ones (Aleo, Manta, Mina, Aztec, Dusk, Zcash, Railgun) versus TEE-based ones (Secret Network, Oasis Cipher ParaTime), linking prior deep dives for each.MapPrivacyZK
