Anonymous NFT Protocol

I’m excited to announce that Anonymous NFT Protocol is now released for the public! Be warned, this is an alpha release, so some things may be unstable! ZKNFT is a proof-of-concept #NFT #marketplace showcasing the #zkSync NFT API.

gm zkEVM! 👋🏻 zkSync Era Mainnet Alpha is now open to all users. Developers, projects, and users can now experience the power of zkEVM. Read more: blog.matter-labs.io/gm-zkevm-171b1… 1/11

ZK-DID is a one-stop solution for decentralized identity. At its core is a verifiable credential system that can verify credentials with zero-knowledge proof without compromising user privacy, such as KYC/AML/CFT scenarios.

#ZKNFT supports users to pledge NFT into ZKNFT contracts and then obtain a cryptographic string certificate to participate in certain threshold activities (e.g. access to Discord's private channels, etc.) without compromising privacy.

3⃣Go back to step (1) if the block gas limit has not been yet exceeded. However, having such flow on zkSync Era (i.e. processing transaction one-by-one) would be too inefficient, since we have to run the entire proving workflow for each individual transaction.

On standard Ethereum clients, the workflow for executing blocks is the following: 1⃣Pick a transaction, validate the transactions & charge the fee, execute it. 2⃣Gather the state changes (if the transaction has not reverted), apply them to the state.

As @kelvinfichter said: Why zkEVM if zkMIPS? As @KyleSamani said: EVM is a bug not a feature. why zkEVM if zkVM?

What if there was a universal #zkVM that would allow smart contracts in all programming languages, not just Solidity, not just Cairo, but Rust, C++, Go, to run securely with zero knowledge proofs? (Stellar tried, but failed.)

ZK-NFT is actually more than NFT, but encapsulates various standard tokens and various data under the chain (from read-write state to read-only state). And encrypted by ZK pointers, so that the privacy of the relevant information can be protected.

🔹Membership NFTs you want to keep private 🔹Location-based NFTs - don’t want people to know you’re there

🥸Potential Use Cases for AnonNFT Protocol 🔹“Smart Money” acquiring large NFT stakes privately - prevent on chain snooping 🔹Art Collectors - keep their ownership status private 🔹Event / Ticket NFTs - Held without associating a person to a specific location

From the largest ecosystem projects in Web3 to more than 150 innovative projects coming from founders all over the world, the launch of zkSync Era will be a 10X moment that accelerates personal sovereignty for everyone.

When #zkSync releases the gates for our Full Launch Alpha, all of ecosystem projects will launch simultaneously, creating the largest Layer 2 launch in the history of Crypto.

Let’s BUIDL together at @EthereumDenver 2023. Visit our workshops, keynotes, panel talks, and registration booth so we can swag you out with freebies and free BUIDLBux Food Truck tokens to refuel between #BUIDLing.

@zkSync_Allday 😻😻

Going to want to keep you eye out for this at #ETHDenver ⌐◨-◨ 👀

🔹Created Front End using #AnonNFT Protocol Networks SDK to mint zkNFTs via our zk NFT Bridge with Schnor Signer. 🔹Designed & Generated 500 AnonNFTs to mint as a Demo on AnonNFT Protocol Testnet. All render images were saved on IPFS.

🫣How we are Made 🔹Key Pieces: zk bridge for #NFTs (minting & redeeming zkNFTs), zk Front End SDK, #AnonNFT contract & 3d render artwork. 🔹Created the first NFT Bridge for AnonNFT Protocol Network. Generally applicable to ANY NFT (ERC-721) contract on Ethereum

TL;DR, zkSync’s choice of EVM compatibility means we can: 1. Redeploy their project with little-to-no code changes 2. Avoid re-auditing their codebase 3. Keep deploying on L2 without learning new languages Learn more: v2-docs.zksync.io/dev/fundamenta…

Beyond security benefits, Solidity and Vyper are the most popular programming languages to write smart contracts. This means experienced web3 teams don’t need to learn new languages, frameworks, or dev tooling to continue building on L2.

EVM compatibility is a spectrum with trade-offs between high compatibility (easy to redeploy from L1) and high performance (quick to generate ZK proofs). The more compatible with L1, the lower the performance and vice versa. #AnonNFT #NFTs #zkSync #zkEVM #web3 #Bitcoin
