If you have experience with Plonky 2 (or another kind of recursive proof system), and are interested in potentially contributing to improving bitcoin privacy, a shoot me a message! There's an opportunity to contribute to zkCoins.
I did a short podcast with Liam Eagen, Robin Linus, & John Light that explains the protocol and how it improves user-privacy and scalability for payments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ446oRFnxQ

cbBTC announced. Base creator saying Base will be a home for BTC.
I don't see how Base doesn't take a large % of the bitcoin layers marketshare.

We did an event with StarkWare in Nashville and Weikeng Chen discussed his team's implementation of a Circle STARK verifier directly in Bitcoin Script!
Might be interesting for ppl interested in ZK! The talk is available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA-nzWJp1DI

Josh Swihart is the main reason I'm interested in Zcash again. He's changed the game.
ICYMI, @vitalik.eth made about post about privacy being normal, and mentioned Railgun, a privacy protocol on Ethereum.
Arbitrum is the only L2 Railgun is deployed on. Defo worth checking out.
I previously made a quick demo on it. Link here: https://twitter.com/BitcoinRollups/status/1745509878829830410/video/1

Wrote a post and explored how we can have a BitVM bridge program (or Bitcoin sidechain) execute an Espresso light client optimistically
this would support BitVM rollups integrations with Espresso! https://hackmd.io/@januszgrze/espresso-on-bitcoin

who’s in Denver?
someone was murdered in buenos aires after having their eyes scanned by the worldcoin orb.
