Introducing https://t.co/fZl90zy1Ak ~ @heylunchbreak

Our newest socialFi app and expert/influencer marketplace built on @base

We built it with on chain escrow + revshare which allows influencers/experts to only get paid when they complete tasks like replying or hopping on calls

With onchain rev share - you can refer users and earn lifetime revenue ~ 2% for all transactions - messages, calls, buys/sells, and custom content (coming soon)™

[ketl.xyz - for founders and vcs 🫖 @ketlxyz]

Most decentralized social networks either:

Builds a centralized version first and then upgrades the pieces to be more and more decentralized until the network is fully decentralized.

Builds a new protocol/client/node software that enables decentralization.

wtf do yc founders, vc partners, lawyers, etc actually think??

introducing @ketlxyz - a new zk / decentralized social app for the workplace - starting with startups.

Groth16: The proofs are small and fast, but need a trusted setup
PLONK: Universal, efficient, and we ditched the trusted setup
PLONKY2: Like PLONK, but with even more optimization magic
Sonic: Updatable and versatile proofs
Bulletproofs: No trusted setup, range proofs on point
Nova: A star in the zk-proof universe, shining bright
SuperNova: Nova's overachieving sibling

Account abstraction and smart-contract wallets are set to improve the safety of all Ethereum accounts. Just published this blog post exploring the impact this will have on the onchain identity-based infrastructure, apps, and cryptography. 1/2

Just published this blog post on the state of open-source protocols for E2E encrypted communication in the group setting. We discuss protocols from
@signalapp @xmpp and @matrixdotorg ! Another very interesting area of cryptography other than zk. 1/2

The recent blog post on stealth addresses by @VitalikButerin ends with how wallets should move to a multi-address model: a fresh address for every app. Just published this response post exploring this technical direction further.

We also wanted give a shout-out to @sealcred for building Sealcaster which allowed zunsunz to post pseudonymously on Farcaster!

We love projects who share are same values!

Just launched our latest @sealcred experiment on @farcaster_xyz

https://t.co/QxJxMDGfB0: anonymous casts from farcaster users

you can:
- prove you're a part of farcaster
- generate a zk badge
- create a burner wallet (locallly)
- cast an anon message:

Latest post by out latest member @PratyushRT focuses on the issues with email and the missing technological links. Our private email attestation tool aims to bridge a lot of these gaps.

Didn't expect this to go viral, disclaimers for @sealcred:

⚠️ This is a 100% open source testnet alpha/PoC

1. Attestor is centralized so not 100% trustless (we plan to decentralize)

2. Attestor generates nullifiers server side (we're moving this to client for better privacy)
