Want to say ´thank you´ and ´gratitude´ to all the silent followers
I know you are there since many of my posts get more bookmarks than likes. Seeing this keeps me motivated to keep posting since people are more serious to study and revisit information when they bookmark it, hence so many bookmarks means good information is reaching many people.
So thank you to all that are silent in the background
Good morning
doomerism is non productive
spreading your fears on the timeline doesn't make you smart
it just reveals weakness
optimists have a plan
and we will execute it
Today, most ZK systems prove at Ethereum pace.
Proofs are large and proving is slow, so rollups compress thousands of transactions into one proof.
Ghost is different.
Every private transaction on Ghost includes its own proof and settles immediately on Solana (~400ms blocks).
That only works if proofs are tiny and fast to generate.
Ghost uses Groth16 on BN254:
• ~192 byte proofs
• extremely fast proving
• constant verification cost
For comparison, many modern systems produce proofs around:
• 2–4KB (Plonk)
• 10–50KB+ (Halo2 / STARKs)
That’s 10–250× larger, and typically slower to prove.
If you want Solana-scale private transactions, proof size and proving time are the real constraints.
Ghost is built around that constraint.
Hey guys, I was sleeping. Really sorry about that. If I’d been awake, I would of course have stopped these funds from going through.
1. Wagyu will never freeze funds. That’s just against everything I stand for.
My goal is instead to stop these kinds of funds from ever entering, similar to NEAR Intents or Railgun.
Compliance tools are in place to block transactions like these.
These just happened to pass because there was no risk score on them for a while from multiple venues.
The risk scores eventually kicked in, which is why the transactions stopped and only a small amount went through.
Clearly the current protocols aren’t sufficient. I’ll be working to make sure this never happens again.
@punk6068@ryonnixon@tryP2Market but would the txs be on chain? if i sell a product for $123.45 then i would be able to filter the onchain txs for 123.45 USDC and then find the purchaser's wallet. then i have the customer's address for the product plus info about their wallet balance.
There is a graveyard of great ideas for crypto projects.
Just study 2017-2022.
So many answers to massive problems there.
For instance, Polymarket wasn't even close to the first prediction market.
Imagine how happy you would be if you just bought bottoms and sold tops and had a meaningful job and worked out 5 times a week and socialised most days
