There's a project making some waves in the privacy field. Using zero-knowledge proof technology, they built a self-developed cryptographic system that doesn't rely on third-party libraries. From the underlying PLONK proof system to high-performance variants, everything is self-written. What does this mean? It means they can precisely customize ZKP circuits to directly meet the needs of financial scenarios, significantly improving the efficiency of consensus verification and confidential transactions.

It's not just the technical prowess itself. They are also investing in ecosystem development—sponsoring the recursive proof research at the University of Barcelona and supporting the iterative upgrade of open-source projects like rkyv. Coupled with developer-friendly API encapsulation, they turn complex cryptography into financial-grade infrastructure, making this technology truly usable. This long-term technical accumulation and ecosystem layout have indeed established their own competitive moat in the privacy compliance track.

Building your own cryptographic system—this guy really dares to do it, betting on solid technology A new path in the ZK field? It doesn't seem like just hype Sponsoring universities to develop recursive proofs—this is what long-term commitment looks like Such a fully autonomous solution from the ground up to the ecosystem—does this approach really work in financial scenarios? Are there real-world cases? To break through in the privacy compliance track, you need to rely on these hardcore technical barriers

Wow, someone really understands ZK now, writing the underlying layer without relying on third-party libraries? I have to say, this approach was standard practice back in 2006 during Bitcoin's early days, and now it's become quite rare. Speaking of which, being able to precisely customize circuits for financial scenarios... Hey, isn't that just calculating the annualized return on settlement prices? Back in the day, I was working on portfolio arbitrage and pondering this logic, never thought it would be packaged into something so high-level by cryptography today. Supporting university research and open-source ecosystems... truly a long-term mindset, unlike some projects that only think about how to cut the leeks and pump the price. This kind of ecosystem barrier strategy is even more ruthless than naked short selling; real financial-grade infrastructure should be built like this. Are you asking if I’m optimistic? Let me put it this way—projects that turn complex cryptography into APIs for developers tend to last longer than those that just shout technical slogans, and their returns are more stable.

Developing cryptography at the foundational level yourself? That's true technical skill, unlike some projects that just shout slogans. Supporting university research is indeed visionary; ecosystem development is the real moat.
