I see another project promoting ZK to scam money again. It's fine to look at the ads, but you should be clear in your mind about why ZK cannot realize Ethereum's vision.
Assuming we now have a public chain with 10,000 TPS and a block time of 10 seconds, it means that a block contains 100,000 transactions, which has already reached the hardware limit. So what needs to be done in those ten seconds? Simply put, it means executing those 100,000 transactions and then reaching consensus through the PoS algorithm to produce a block.
After applying the ZK algorithm to the public chain, even if we have a god-tier optimized ZK algorithm that can prove in under 1 second, the workload for producing a block becomes: execution + PoS + ZK.
Since ZK claims it can increase TPS by countless times, let's say 100 times, then 100,000 transactions become 10 million transactions within 10 seconds, and the workload changes to: executing 10 million transactions + PoS + ZK.
Smart friends should understand that what kind of high-spec machine is needed to execute 10 million transactions in 10 seconds? And ZK? Even if optimized to under 1 second, or even 0.001 seconds with a god-tier ZK algorithm... it still cannot help the virtual machine execute 10 million transactions.
As the old saying goes... when you encounter ZK, just turn around and leave. The combination of ZK and infra cannot realize Ethereum's vision; it can only be a scythe for harvesting the chives.
Is ZK L2 discredited because L2 is discredited? Of course, mainly because ZK doesn't work; at least L2 can make gas fees cheaper.
Now switching to ZK + L1, what else can it do besides harvesting once more?
