🌊 Exciting Trend Bridge Web2 Identity to Web3 given by Interep, Ethereum Privacy and Scaling Explorations. Talk DID is very popular in last several quarters. These projects plan to build the reputation system from the ground up in the blockchain world. This is pretty hard as Web3 is still in the early stage. More people are coming here in the near future. It is hard for these new comers to start their blockchain journey with 0 reputation. Migrating Web2 reputation to Web3 sounds like a good idea because most people have tons of reputation in the Web2 social media platform, like Twitter, Reddit and Github. is trying to bring the Web2 identity to Web3. A new user needs to connect wallet and uses OAuth to connect Interep with his Web2 account. Then according to Interep’s criteria, the new user will be assigned to a group, ex. golden group or silver group. After user joining the group, other dApp can use these identity information in their dApp. The whole authentication process is anonymous. Nobody can reveal any connections between the wallet and the specific Web2 social account, but everyone knows your Web2 group. Interep takes the Web2 identity sources and group criteria. Semaphore use the ZK to generate proofs and preserve the privacy. Interep Recursive ZK Applications and Affordances given by Nalin Bhardwaj and Ying Tong. Talk I talked about ZK recursion early this year in my . Recursive ZK brings two main characteristics: ZK research paper Compression Composability Recursion bringing compression is very intuitive. The example would be a rollup of signatures/light client proofs/transactions. Composability means “a prover shows knowledge to a verifier, without fully knowing the underlying facts themselves”. The composability is normally applied in the composition across different prove systems. Developers can better customize the proving stacks and swap different modulars. Some examples would be Information theoretic compilers, e.g. One party simulate the whole MPC Composing cryptographic compilers, eg STARK verifier in Groth16 prover Tailor-made cryptographic compilers, e.g. GKR verifier in Groth16 prover The whole idea here is to apply recursive ZK and its composition property into proving systems customization. There are other works need to be done for better systematize the customization: Benchmark Standardized criteria for comparing different compositions Auditing, formal verification For investors, we need to think about why we need to customize proving systems and would customization be the next trend? Mud: New GameFi development engine given by Lattice. Talk There are three dirty parts in today GameFi development: State Sync: Clients need to sync states with smart contracts Adding Content Inter Operability In the traditional approach, developer build structs, add functions to access data and emit events for data sync. ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 standards are used for inter operability. borrows the matured Entity Component System from the traditional game industry. Entity is the characteristic, like health and attack. Components link entities to values. In such approach, we decouple the connection between specific object and its characteristics. When moving entity left, we don’t care what we move, but only care about the position component is accessible. Mud Then we register every component to the world contract. Everyone could register new component. This ensures the composability and further adding new content. To make the data sync process faster, Mud also brings Indexer. Because the GameFi world is normally isolated, Indexer only works on the game specific tx. This significantly boosts the query performance.
