I've been lurking on X for too long. Time to actually show up.
If you've connected with me recently, you might be wondering who exactly is behind the profile.
My name is Michael. I'm a software engineer
If you're a developer, a founder, I'd love to connect. Let's impact together.

@elonmusk @grok what does this mean?

@donifow @GetAmpPay The future of finance is self-custody. Ampay's approach to decentralization and high-yield savings is exactly what Web3 needs.

@zkPass @zkPassDAO I have been an early supporter since it's pre alpha stage. Fingers crossed 🤞

[zkPass @zkPass]

Over the past months, zkPass completed one of the largest protocol-native trials in Web3 with more than 200M verifications, 10M proofs, and 100+ data sources tested across real applications.

Chapter 0 is now complete. Incentives for protocol-native testers and early community supporters are secured and will be honored, with no Sybil screening and no additional KYC required. 🌐✅

The next chapter begins with @zkPassDAO, the steward of treasury and community alignment. In this stage, $ZKP steps forward as the native asset of the Verifiable Internet, opening participation to a broader community and anchoring long-term credibility for the ecosystem.

To mark this transition, the $ZKP Checker is coming soon.

💡Word of the day- Verifiable Delay Function

Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) is a cryptographic tool that is slow to compute but fast to verify.

It forces a computer to perform a specific number of sequential steps to get an output, which can then be checked instantly by anyone.

What's the importance in Web3

VDFs are crucial for creating a secure and unpredictable source of randomness in blockchain systems.
This randomness is essential for tasks like:
📍Randomly selecting validators in Proof-of-Stake blockchains (e.g., Ethereum).
📍Preventing attacks where a malicious user tries to predict the future state of the network.
📍Ensuring fairness in on-chain games and lotteries.
Companies/Protocols that use it:
📍Ethereum (Beacon Chain): Uses VDFs for its randomness beacon to select validators.
📍Chia Network: Relies on VDFs for its Proof of Space and Time consensus.
📍Algorand & Filecoin: Both have used VDFs in their consensus mechanisms to ensure security and decentralization.

If you have learnt something today, share this across your network.

@qudusayo @jeremytechie Where's the update

[Web3 Afrika | web3afrika.eth @web3afrika]

There’s a reason why community has a “u” in it. 👀
Because you are the heart of it.

In Web3, communities are everything.
✓ Newbies find direction
✓ Ideas turn into products
✓ You stop feeling like a one-man soldier

At Web3 Afrika, we believe in the future of Web3 in Africa, and we’re empowering it, one community member at a time.

GM, fam. Let’s build. 💡

[Osimiri Jordan @Jay_Oforge]
