You’ve heard of zero-knowledge proofs.
You’ve heard of SNARKs and PLONK and zkRollups.
But you haven't gotten started, because you don’t have a spare brain dedicated to learning cryptography.
That all changes today.
Introducing Noir, the universal language of zero knowledge.
ERC-1724 - zkERC20: Confidential Token Standard
A common interface for fungible tokens that want to implement confidential transaction functionalities via zero-knowledge proofs and a corresponding Cryptography Engine (see ERC-1732).

Programmable, private, stable. We're slowing approaching the holy grail of currencies.
Seriously, no one wants a single digital identity except the people selling solutions designed for that purpose.
People want easy-to-use tools to manage their digital relationships in a safe, secure and privacy-preserving manner.
Why does everything have to be "revolutionary?"
I was having a call with a group that wanted to make contract development easier but were really struggling how to, so the next day I got back to them with a suggested layout of how I would approach it, focusing on modules instead of directly writing code line by line.
The more I dig into crypto, the more I realize:
* The smartest people in the space are names you've never heard of.
* They are writing code + building products while others attend events.
* Advice: find these people & learn from their ideas instead of going to every conference.
