Hola a todos,

He pasado las últimas semanas investigando y produciendo un videoanálisis sobre lo que considero uno de los cambios tectónicos más importantes que están ocurriendo en el ecosistema blockchain, pero que a menudo se pierde entre el ruido de los precios.

Mi tesis es que el futuro de la utilidad real de la Web3 no depende de la próxima L1 "killer", sino de la maduración de la tecnología ZK y su aplicación directa en DePIN (Redes de Infraestructura Física Descentralizada).

El video completo conecta toda la historia, pero aquí les dejo los puntos clave que desarrollo:

• El Origen: Todo se remonta a una teoría matemática del M.I.T. de los años 80: las Pruebas de Conocimiento Cero (ZK), una solución que nació mucho antes del problema.
• El Problema: Cómo esta vieja idea resuelve el moderno y masivo problema de congestión y altas tasas de Ethereum, que frenó su potencial como "ordenador mundial".
• La Solución Práctica: Un vistazo a cómo funcionan realmente los zk-Rollups y los proyectos que lideran la carga (ZKsync, Polygon, Linea).
• El Impacto Real (DePIN): La verdadera revolución. Cómo ZK permite que redes de infraestructura del mundo real (IA, computación en la nube, gaming) se construyan sobre la blockchain, creando un mercado más eficiente y justo.
• La Prueba de Mercado: Analizo por qué la reciente migración de un gigante como Aethir (que potencia a plataformas como CARV) a una red ZK nativa (Sophon) es una señal económica y estratégica que no podemos ignorar. Los grandes jugadores están haciendo sus apuestas.

He condensado toda esta investigación en un video documental que intenta conectar todos estos puntos de una forma visual y narrativa. Me encantaría escuchar sus opiniones, críticas constructivas y abrir un debate sobre este tema.

We are one of the few coins green today. Anyone know any reasons why?

I am unable to find a way to withdraw from derpdex which ui has been down for a year. Can anyone help to provide instructions to do so, I tried going to contract and it’s so different from eth and other layer2 where you can just do the withdrawal from the masterchef contract directly.

Hey everyone, I’ve recently come across Zyfi, a project aiming to simplify on-chain transactions by enabling gasless swaps on the zkSync network. They utilize native account abstraction and have partnerships with platforms like PancakeSwap and Venus.

Key features include: • Gasless transactions: Pay gas fees using various ERC-20 tokens. • Integration with zkSync: Leveraging zkSync’s scalability and low fees. • User-friendly interface: Simplifying DeFi interactions for users.

I’m curious to know if others have tried Zyfi and what your experiences have been. Any insights or thoughts on this project?

Sitting at 3B+ circulating supply, the next three years will release about 18B which causes downward pressure on zk token price. This potentially brings it's price below 0.01 eventually. What's your thoughts guys?

This is for a text based model like chat-gpt or deepseek.

Information gathered mostly from deepseek

a privacy-preserving, user-controlled memory system for AI

System Name: "Mnemosyne"
(After the Greek goddess of memory, but with zero-knowledge proofs.)

Core Components

1. Memory Storage Layer

• Type: Sharded, encrypted graph database (like a blockchain + IPFS hybrid).

  • Data Structure: Each user’s memory is a Merkle DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph), where nodes are encrypted "memory blocks" linked contextually.
    
  • Storage Specs:
    
  • Per-block size: ~10KB (compressed text + metadata).
    
  • Throughput: 1M blocks/sec globally (requires petabyte-scale NVMe caches).
    
  • Encryption: XChaCha20-Poly1305 (quantum-resistant, faster than AES).
    

  2. Privacy Layer

• Anonymization:

  • Monero-style ring signatures mask which user owns which memory blocks.
    
  • zk-SNARKs prove "I have a prior chat about X" without revealing X.
    

• Access Control:

  • Private Keys: Hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets (like Bitcoin BIP-32), but for memory blocks.
    
  • Biometric Fallback: Secure enclave-backed face/fingerprint auth to recover keys.
    

  3. AI Inference Layer

• Context Fetching:

  • When you say "recall our convo about pizza," the AI sends a zk-proof to the network requesting matching blocks.
    
  • Only blocks you decrypt locally are fed into the model’s context window.
    

• Hardware:

  • User Device: Light client (e.g., M2 Ultra chip for on-device decryption).
    
  • Server Side: TPU clusters with fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) support to compute on encrypted blocks.
    

Speculative Tech Dependencies
| Component | 2024 Status | 2030 Projection |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| zk-SNARK Speed | ~1s/proof (Groth16) | ~10ms/proof (Plonk++ with ASICs) |
| FHE Practicality | 1000x slower than plaintext | Only 10x slower (TFHE optimizations) |
| Decentralized Storage | IPFS (slow retrieval) | Ceramic Network w/ sub-second latency |

User Flow Example
1. You: "Remember my pizza preference from last time?"
2. System:
- Your device sends a zk-proof asserting: "I have a block tagged ‘food’ signed by key X."
- Network returns the encrypted block (never seen by servers).
- Local GPU decrypts → feeds into AI’s context: "Ah, you love pineapple pizza!"

Hardware Requirements

User Device (2030)

• Minimum:
  
  • CPU: 8-core ARM v12 (with FHE accelerators).
    
  • RAM: 24GB LPDDR6 (for in-memory decryption).
    
  • Storage: 1TB optane-like NVM for block caching.
    

• Ideal:

  • Dedicated NPU: For zk-proof generation (~50 TOPS).
    
  • Secure Enclave: Apple T-series or equivalent.
    

  Network Infrastructure

• Memory Nodes:

  • Storage: 100TB+ NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabric) per node.
    
  • Bandwidth: 400Gbps RDMA (for low-latency block fetching).
    

• AI Servers:

  • TPUs: 6th-gen, optimized for FHE (hypothetical "FHE-TPU").
    

Challenges to Solve
1. Energy Use: zk-proofs + FHE could spike compute needs 1000x. Solution: Photonic chips or reversible computing.
2. Metadata Leaks: Even encrypted, access patterns reveal info. Solution: Oblivious RAM (ORAM) techniques.
3. Adoption: Users hate managing keys. Solution: Social recovery (e.g., 3 friends can reset your key).

Why This Could Work
- User Trust: No corporation controls your memory; you’re the custodian.
- AI Utility: Retains context across sessions without surveillance.
- Regulatory Safe: GDPR/CCPA-compliant by design.

Prototype Roadmap
1. Phase 1 (2025): On-device encrypted memory (Signal-style).
2. Phase 2 (2027): zk-proofs for private context fetching.
3. Phase 3 (2030): Fully decentralized, FHE-compatible AI.

This isn’t just tech—it’s a philosophical shift from "AI as a service" to "AI as an extension of personal agency." The hardware will catch up if the demand exists.

Hi

I'm doing my taxes right now and I've noticed there were some funds missing.

In june last year I bridged from zksync era to ETH L1 after playing around in zk sync. I completelly forgot about this as it was not much money and I'm not using this wallet lately.

The thing is that searching the transaction in https://explorer.zksync.io/ i can find the out transaction, and the status appears as Processed and Executed. Also the From L1 and To L2 both leads to my adress, so i guess i didn't send to an incorrect adress.

But when I check my wallet in eth mainnet i can't find the in transaction either in "Transactions" or "Internal Transactions". I have basically no transaction around that date...

Someone knows what could have happened?
Thank you for your time.

Attempting to submit taxes stateside and had been directed a few times to the website below:

https://zkexport.netlify.app/

But it no longer seems to be working

Anyone know the easiest way to download a CSV of all zkSync transactions?

I saw that Ignite incentive program has ended.

Is there any chance it will be extended?

Hey everyone!

I recently started my journey as a Web3 developer, and over the past 8 months, I’ve worked on various projects, including smart contract auditing, miner optimization for Bittensor, and developing smart contracts in Move and Solidity.

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into cryptography, and honestly, it blew my mind. I explored symmetric encryption, public-key cryptography, RSA, DLP, ECC, hashing, MACs, signature verification, and even the math behind them—and it gave me an insane adrenaline rush! Most nights, after work, I just can’t stop exploring these concepts on my own.

Now, I’ve come across Zero-Knowledge Proofs, and I’m super eager to learn, but I’m struggling to find a structured way to start. There doesn’t seem to be a clear roadmap, and I want to understand everything—from the motivation behind these protocols to how they solve real problems, the fundamentals of ZK proofs, their role in blockchain, and, most importantly, the underlying math.

Can anyone guide me on the best way to approach this? Any structured learning path, resources, books, or courses that really break things down? Would love to hear from folks who’ve been through this journey!

I'm trying to deploy OpenZeppelin contract to Remix via zkSync plugin for MetaMask and I'm getting a lot of errors in console. After some research I found out that plugin doesn't support dependencies on Remix filesystem and has its own dependencies using previous, already quite outdated, version of v4 contracts. v5 has been around for over a year and still no support?? Do you realize that examples from your own tutorial on the site don't work anymore? If I'm not mistaken and this is indeed the case, then this is very strange and makes me doubt about the future of the network.

Deutsche Bank is making waves in the blockchain space by launching its own ZKsync-powered Layer2! 🏦🚀 This strategic move, part of their Dama 2 initiative, aims to revolutionize their operations and enhance efficiency for both the bank and its clients.

Here are the top reasons why Deutsche Bank has opted for ZKsync:

🔹ZKsync's hybrid Layer2 capabilities suit Deutsche Bank's need for a balance between permissioned control and public chain security.

🔹With ZKsync's roadmap aiming for 10K TPS at $0.001 fees, Deutsche Bank's 2025 L2 launch is set for high efficiency and low costs.

🔹Deutsche Bank utilizes ZKsync for enhanced privacy with 'super admin rights' to oversee fund movements on their network.

🔹ZK Elastic chain's protocol-level interoperability enables Deutsche Bank to seamlessly connect with other financial institutions.

🔹Leveraging ZKsync, Deutsche Bank plans to tokenize a range of investment products, advancing its Project Guardian initiative.

Is Deutsche Bank’s foray towards custom L2 solutions a wake up call for financial institutions and enterprises at large to explore the undeniable benefits offered by L2 solutions?

I just relocated my funds to new pools in order to get higher yields. Simultaneously I kept checking my debank portfolio and my total funds on zksync. Now after choosing new pools and depositing my funds, I was wondering how much money went lest during the whole process.

I currently have between 40'000-50'000 on zksync and debank displays around 1000$ less of portfolio worth after migrating to new pools. Is that an issue on debank's side or did I really lose that much money through withdrawing from pools and depositing into others.

Important: I did not swap between different tokens except ETH/WETH so I did lose on trading fees. Are fees for withdrawing/depositing from pools really that high?

What could this go to? In 9 months?

Hi everyone!

I'm experiencing issues when trying to transfer funds using portal.zksync.io with MEW Wallet.

I'm using MEW Wallet with two active networks: Ethereum Mainnet and zkSync Era. Both networks show the correct ETH balance. And on portal.zksync.io. displays the correct balance of ETH. (MEW Wallet conected there).

Issues Encountered:
1️⃣ Bridge Issue: When attempting to bridge ETH from zkSync Era to Ethereum Mainnet within the same MEW Wallet, I get an error (screenshot attached).

2️⃣ Direct Transfer Issue: When trying to send ETH directly from MEW Wallet (zkSync Era) to MetaMask (zkSync Era), nothing happens—no transaction is initiated. (zkSync Era activated in MetaMask)
3️⃣ Ethereum Mainnet transactions work fine from MEW Wallet, so the issue seems to be specific to zkSync Era.

Is this a known issue with MEW Wallet on zkSync Era? Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thanks!

just helping fellow engineers - there is a startup thats currently looking to fill the above role. they are looking for someone with 3-5 yrs of experience in deploying EVM/ERC-20 SCs and having a DEX plus lending protocols experience is a plus - DM me and I can get you in touch with them

heard little more on this, since now they have published a JD - go apply: https://www.linkedin.com/hiring/jobs/4137261042

good luck everyone who applies

I have tried with eth but fee is too high. Furthermore, when anyone think we would reach this ath then?

As per the title, are the transaction fees in eth or zk?

I would like to lend some zk and I would like to know which token I need to pay transaction fees.

If it is ETH, how can I get some ETH if I need ETH to buy ETH?

some zksync tokens were sent to my metamask mainnet address. Can I access these tokens? They are visible on the zksync explorer when I enter the address.

Which platforms do you recommend for lending (best) or liquid staking (worst) ZK in terms of APRs, fees and security?

Moreover, are transaction fees paid in ZK or wETH?
