Today, we're launching ZCAM, an iPhone camera app to Prove What’s Real.
ZCAM cryptographically signs photos and videos at the moment of capture. Anyone can independently verify the content came from a real device and hasn't been altered or AI-generated.
AI makes every fake: the latest generation of AI models have crossed the rubicon. You cannot trust what you see online. Every day, people are fooled by fake content; from the mundane (is the Pope wearing Balenciaga?!) to the consequential (did Iranian missiles actually strike Tel Aviv)?
Cryptography makes it real again: cryptography offers us a way out. By combining cryptographic hardware and software, we can prove authenticity of content--images, video, audio--at the source. This will become the canonical way to prove what's real.
Huge respect to @balajis, who is always ahead of his time and has been discussing these ideas for many years. It was a pleasure to riff with him on the Network State pod!
.@balajis reveals he loves what @pumatheuma and Succinct are building with ZCAM.
“This is great, this is exactly the stuff I’ve wanted out there whether it’s for scientific experiments or something.”
IronClaw keeps shipping and the direction is clear.
Self-improving agents. Secure multi-tenancy. Full-stack visibility for devs.
This is what production ready agent infrastructure looks like.
Private by design. Verifiable in execution.
$ETH FOUNDER VITALIK: 🔥 Ethereum is not built to compete with high-frequency trading platforms or be the fastest chain.
“It’s meant to be the secure chain, the decentralized chain, the chain you can rely on.”
🚨JUST IN: ETHEREUM BUILDERS PLAN ‘ECONOMIC ZONE’ TO UNIFY L2 ECOSYSTEM
Ethereum $ETH developers are pushing a new framework to fix fragmentation.
A recent proposal introduces an “Ethereum Economic Zone” (EEZ), aiming to unify multiple layer-2 networks into one system, according to CoinTelegraph.
The effort is backed by the Ethereum Foundation. Key contributors include teams from Gnosis and Zisk. The goal is seamless interaction across rollups.
Developers are targeting smoother user experience. The move could simplify multi-chain operations.
Another major OP Stack chain has integrated ZK proving with Succinct.
@Bitpanda_global's Vision Chain is the latest addition, built with OP Succinct ZK proofs for same-day withdrawals.
The rollup market is going all in on ZK with Succinct.
