ZKsync (ZK)

Imagine this: back in June 2024, 695k wallets were eligible for the ZK airdrop. Today the number of unique stakers… ~1,000 😅 Looks like that ~1:695 ratio is pretty telling — basically the split between real community members willing to hold tokens (any tokens) and pure profit extractors.

The zk layer handles some of the trickiest parts of DeFi. Think about it: letting users prove their identity, protect their data, and still move billions on-chain without breaking trust. @KeyringNetwork leads with ZK-identity: users prove verification, access DeFi pools, and stay off-chain. No doxxing, full trust. Compliance meets privacy without tradeoffs. Meanwhile, @zksync shows how ZK rollups scale Ethereum safely, hosting billions in TVL while keeping full Solidity compatibility. The zk ecosystem is maturing: privacy, scalability, and legitimacy are no longer theoretical. How far can these primitives go in redefining digital finance and on-chain identity?

DeFi is permissionless. That's not the problem. The problem is that institutional capital has legal obligations that permissionless chains can't accommodate. 🔸AML checks 🔸Sanctions screening 🔸Verified counterparties. Compliance teams don't care how good the yield is if the boxes aren't ticked. So that capital stayed out. Protocols like @eulerfinance built permissioned pools to solve this: same DeFi infrastructure, but gated for verified participants only. @KeyringNetwork is what operates that gate without becoming a KYC nightmare. Users verify against Binance, Kraken or Coinbase via MPC‑TLS. A ZK credential gets generated. What hits the chain: verified entity, permitted jurisdiction. That's it. No raw data. No central database. Institutions get access. Protocols get compliance. Nobody surrenders their data. This isn't for the average DeFi user. It's the infrastructure that finally brings serious capital on-chain. @zksync is the same ZK logic applied to scale: thousands of transactions, one proof, Ethereum‑grade security. The bottleneck is gone. The institutions have been watching. The rails are being built.

late gm guys what's your plan for the day? I've been consuming X content in a much more thoughtful way lately been reading a lot of articles and this is a good one if you're interested in zk tech and how it's being used in DeFi you all know zksync and succinct but there's a lot of interesting zk projects out there like @KeyringNetwork which uses zk tech to let users pass KYC without doxxing themselves pretty cool stuff

is zkSync undervalued? > raised $258M > shipped one of the most technically complex ZK-rollup > Tradable brought $1.5B in tokenized alternative assets to zkSync > 2.3b RWA on zksync > they partner with institutions for privacy solutions > Buenos Aires launches Digital ID service using ZK-Proofs of zksync > UBS tests zkSync's tech > Sophon, Abstract, and other chains in the ECO > price is still going down, but only 10% down from 10.10 > other L2s down 40% from 10.10 but with all the tech and focus on privacy stack for institutions, we are yet to see value accrual for the token. so is this just another "scam" L2 token that just happened to do well after 10.10, or do they have a potential?

Want to know more about ZK, which protocols & how they implement it? This is a good article to read > ZK Tech is now mainly used for Sybil prevention or identity confirmation without actually verifying the entity or having to store the personal data in a centralised database > For example: @KeyringNetwork uses MPC-TLS authentication from Binance/Revolut/Coinbase, granting users access to pools without storing any personal data > With this they can verify identification without any doxxing needed > This was used on their pool in AVAX in partnership with @multiplifi ✓ > Another project that uses ZK tech is of course @zksync in their rollups > They can scale Ethereum without any security trade-offs. They do this by batching thousands of transactions together, prove correctness, & settle on the L1 ✓ > With ZK, they can scale up the throughput by 1000x! > ZK is probably one of the best advancements in the Blockchain technology! What other projects do you think of when you see ZK? Thanks to Tunnl for brin

when you think how crypto compliance platforms work, you follow the rules, lose your privacy. but zero knowledge (zk) changes that. you can prove things are true without revealing personal data. that’s why @KeyringNetwork stood out to me. they just let users prove KYC without doxxing, and this allows people to access compliant DeFi with nothing sensitive on-chain. And this isn’t niche tech anymore. Projects like @zksync show zk is already running at scale. the more I look into it, the more it feels like zk is how DeFi grows without becoming a surveillance system.
