zk proofs were theoretically solved decades before anyone could run them in production.

the math existed!

but there was a large chasm between the math and practical feasibility. the solution was groundbreaking; below is more on it and why it keeps showing up in everything we're building. 🧵

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

that's because most crypto does things for ethos not customers.

flip that and we can have a shot at better reputation.

this week i spoke to a great builder who took a dig at the recent L1s

i recorded it

will make it public in a few weeks! with his permission ofc.

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

I spent years in cryptography learning that if you get the primitives right, everything else becomes possible

i didn't expect to relearn that lesson building a prediction market

here we are

[Bomj @Flandersik]

Most developers don’t want to spend months learning cryptography 😅
They just want tools that work, are reliable, and don’t require deep expertise to get started

- fast ZK?
- and what about a fast formula, and yes, not formula-1, but predict market

all in one place:
>there is a question
>there is volume
>there is yes/no

tweet → market created → resolved in seconds.

no humans. no keepers. no waiting.

this is live consumer usage on @flashcastsocial, running on the exact same mystery infrastructure we just teased.

the mystery infra is already real.

the mask is coming off.

@Niks0n2 @FlashcastSocial @7wealthh @andrey_versus @fermah_xyz it's very nice

[Niks0n @Niks0n2]

anyone can create a market in seconds

tweet a yes/no question
tag @FlashcastSocial

or create it directly on the site via + new market

Hello, dolphins🐬

lately I’ve been noticing more discussions around ZK infrastructure as its own category in crypto

As more projects adopt zero-knowledge systems - especially rollups and other scaling solutions - the demand for proof generation keeps growing

at the same time, generating proofs remains computationally intensive and requires specialized setups

because of this, more teams are starting to focus specifically on infrastructure that supports ZK systems, rather than building applications directly

separate layer is forming around computation, proving, and verification

feels like this is becoming an important part of how the ecosystem evolves

@fermah_xyz

[Bomj @Flandersik]

@vanishree_rao ez, i know

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

wrong question.

which ecosystem has apps with users who are there for the app utility > incentives?

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

let’s talk about the mystery infrastructure i teased earlier.

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

why do you think, after 2 years, are we thinking of naming our proof market?

Fermah started off building the universal proof market, which we shipped in style on mainnet with real customers

one thing about Fermah - we dont stop innovating. we dont stop building. we keep shipping. now that Fermah has multiple products (@flashcastsocial & a mystery product), it’s time even the first product has its own name.

but first, a note to Fermafia 🧵

[Vanishree Rao @vanishree_rao]

i have a friend who is good at community building and is starting his agency. lmk if anyone wants an intro.

[Bomj @Flandersik]

Infrastructure is one of those things that either accelerates everything or quietly kills momentum 🧱
In ZK, that effect is even stronger because everything depends on heavy computation behind the scenes

@pondoONtop @FlashcastSocial @fermah_xyz not bad twin

[Pondo @pondoONtop]

dive into @FlashcastSocial

@FlashcastSocial uses @fermah_xyz technology, so it is faster and more stable than services like Polymarket or Kalshi. This is essentially a new generation of prediction markets:
simpler, faster, and with a focus on social media.
