Opacity's Verified Data Network (VDN) leverages zkTLS, MPC, and economic security from @EigenLayer to privately share data across web2 and web3. @opacitynetwork on X
Jordan wrote a banger article back before we even announced im pretty sure.

zkTLS has two superpowers
user lever interop
layering economics on web2
im open to figuring out more but every single banger idea thus far has been in one of these two camps

Luc was one of the few people who got it right away. His articles are always bangers.

zkTLS bridges crypto directly to apps people actually use. think vampire attacks in social.
Tons of experiments incoming.
This is a love letter to opacity @eulerlagrange.eth

you said the quiet part out loud
We’ve hit a mile where people more likely have heard of Opacity vs zkTLS more often when i introduce myself
Our zkTLS product is so good, even if our competitors offered theirs for free it still wouldn’t be cheap enough
To be fair I have but expanding the domain of crypto utility doesn’t have pmf on CT.
I need to throw AI or help people get more liquidity faster to speculate

@eulerlagrange.eth instead of just chirping @dwr.eth and @jessepollak, why don't you talk more about the ppl building useful shit on top of your shit?

Dan has had web2<>web3 interop as a thesis for many years so was a great story to hear 🫡

I'm joining /opacity, @eulerlagrange.eth, & @dawufi to spread the zkTLS mind virus.

Not trying to argue with Dan, just offering my perspective.
The thesis of Opacity fundamentally is based on how what can be put on-chain is limited by cooperation (signing data) and verifiability.
Most of what there is onchain is financial abstractions.
Happy to proven wrong ofc. Writing this because i’ve thought very deeply about this particular area.
I really don’t care about anyone else’s opinion, prove me wrong.

Private addresses connected to Farcaster protocol
1. Web app with open source repo so you can run locally if you want
2. Ability to sign from two addresses: a) your Farcaster custody address b) an arbitrary ETH or SOL address
3. Publish the ZK proof to blockchain / website / API to start; if started to get adoption, could figure out best way to add to protocol
a. Address X (publicly revealed) is connected to a unique FID Y (private); address X cannot be reused in the proof system for another FID.
b. Bonus points if you could include some generalized information about the FID (<# fid, # followers as of proof date).
You could imagine token pages showing way more Farcaster ownership by done anonymously but provable thanks to ZK

On engineering principles, I respect the Warpcast team (may be biased) for their relentless work in driving to what is most important for the product, @eulerlagrange.eth for striking a balance between pragmatism and delivery, and (this might be a shocker due to my vocal criticism)...
Returning to the greatness that never was

@eulerlagrange.eth how does it work with attestation + anon work when you want to verify yourself later? Can that potentially be reverse engineered to out people?

Private TLS Today in crypto:
- zkTLS upgrades standard TLS with zero-knowledge proofs, letting data be verified on-chain without revealing sensitive details.
- MPC-TLS, TEE-based solutions, and Proxy-TLS via Reclaim secure private web2 data by splitting, encrypting, and verifying it, ensuring trust without central points.

We focus on consumer products and experiences that use invisible web3 rails, bc the mainstream end user doesn't care about web3.
So, if such products and experiences embed zkTLS, then yes. We do not focus on bottom up use cases from infra, rather top down, keeping the consumer experience in mind at all times.
