Today, Sismo returned funds to its investors. We shipped fast, solved hard problems and built a great community. Yet, our pace was unsustainable, we sprinted a marathon. I'm proud of the battle we fought and the way we did it, with full engagement and passion. (thread)

gm frens! 👋 Introducing the latest version of zk-whiteboard.xyz ✅ Create permissionless whiteboards with custom requirements ✅ Stay anonymous even across different whiteboards 👉 Check out the whiteboard I created for my lens followers: zk-whiteboard.xyz/whiteboard/3 A 🧵⬇️

Onchain summer might be over, but building season never ends 🎭 Hack with Sismo at: 🆔 Identity Hackathon by @newforum_nco, Sept 14-29 🇮🇹 EthRome by @urbeEth, Oct 6-8 🌐 EthOnline by @ETHGlobal, Oct 6-27 Full calendar: build.sismo.io

How does the 'Trending Users Rank' on farcaster.network work? Eigenvalue algorithm / PageRank algorithm? Is it possible to obtain the complete ranking list?

@0xMartinGbz @ensdomains @gitcoinpassport Wen one for the Sismo Community 👀 factory.sismo.io/groups-explore…

Introducing ZK-whiteboard, an app for anonymous, spam-free self-expression. Connect to the app, prove you own an @ensdomains & a @gitcoinpassport and post a message on the whiteboard to the world! 👉 Try it now here: zk-whiteboard.xyz (desktop only) A 🧵⬇️

Wrote my first anonymous message on zk-whiteboard.xyz gated to ENS and Gitcoin passport owners 👀 That was really fun, 👏 @0xMartinGbz twitter.com/0xMartinGbz/st…

Who has already deployed Reth on AWS? Do we have insights into performance given the block storage latency issues in the cloud?

We just deployed on Base, bringing zk proofs to the onchain summer 🟡🎭 Builders, let users aggregate and selectively disclose their identity to your contract. Ready to support the 100 builders program with @withBackdrop, @seedclub and @BuildOnBase!

2 years ago, @leo21_eth coined the term « reputationomics » when we were thinking about what the next bull run should look like. If leveraging your reputation onchain becomes a thing the need for private aggregation of personal data becomes obvious and pressing. Let’s see!

On friend dot tech, users are forced to create a fresh new wallet. It's a feature, not a bug! The bug is that it is empty. Future will entirely abstract away addresses: - One address per app - Privately funded via ZKPs - Reputation imported via ZKPs

We're stoked to announce @Sismo_eth will be joining us as a sponsor for 100 Builders! Sismo is at the cutting edge of ZK and privacy, and they have been long supporters of open tech. With @artizen and our own fund that brings the prizes to $25K, with more to come soon!

@brandonhgomes It’s a bit strange the article was reveal in arxiv and not nature tbh I am waiting for the reproduction by peers

all crypto startups about to pivot into ambient-condition room-temperature superconductors

@msfew_eth @SuccinctLabs You can find it here youtube.com/live/KOolD36ix…

@leo21_eth @SuccinctLabs Interesting. What's the link to the recording?

This is sick honestly. 3 layers of recursion that allows parallelization and best tradeoff from each proof system @SuccinctLabs

@manasilvora @RiscZero What is the proving time (on a macbook pro for instance) for verifying an ecdsa signature in risc0?

Then the future is already here! You can efficiently verify ECDSA signatures inside @RiscZero zkVM TODAY github.com/risc0/risc0/tr…

@dhadrien_ 999,995 Working with Sismo Connect and your ready made boilerplates has been so easy man! Both frontend and backend integrations went smooooooth ✨

First time that I feel like Sismo is starting to deliver on its promise. Sismo Connect is now live and is beginning to be understood. Up to us to make it the most powerful and delightful tool for all devs to fully leverage reputation and identity in their apps!

Judging at @ethglobal Paris was inspiring. Some themes I saw: - tons of zk proofs (e.g. privacy, scaling, authentication with @Sismo_eth) - first time I saw a lot of crypto x AI overlap at a hackathon (e.g. generative art, detecting fakes) - lots of L2 usage for cheaper/faster txns (so cool we are at this point!) - default storage with @IPFS - interest in @worldcoin for unique digital identity - interest in wallet comms (e.g. @xmtp_, comms protocol aggregator) - almost every team I met was from a different country (Note: I'm an investor in @Sismo_eth @xmtp)

What do I think about biometric proof of personhood? vitalik.eth.limo/general/2023/0…
