We will be hosting our first AMA featuring the following PSE Projects (https://pse.dev/en/projects). Send in your questions as a reply to this case and the teams will try to answer them on Wednesday Feb 21st.

A list of the projects attending can be found below 👇

Working on building zkTLS infra/products. A ruthless empiricist and meme connoisseur.

What ZK projects (other than your own) are you most excited about? Why?

Building @megapot, advising @zkp2p, ex-Set Protocol

/lab

working on blockchain privacy

Software engineer at the Privacy and Scaling Explorations team (EF)

We've been working on a Mercado Pago implementation! Ran into some issues with it not having a signed timestamp. Have some workarounds but they introduce us as a trusted party (we sign on the timestamp)

zkp2p is extremely promising for me:

Transfer Venmo USD to on-chain USD in a moment with no intermediaries 🤯

 (we need a non-venmo version in Latam because there is not much support for it)

@bad-wisdom can tell you more

❤️⚙️🧪R&D @PSE opinions are my own and subject to change. 

TLSN in particular will lead to a Cambrian explosion of new products

I'm biased here since I am involved in a number of projects, but TLSNotary, Proof of Email, and Proof of Passport/citizenship are super powerful. TLSN and PoE are just huge unlocks for being able to prove almost any arbitrary data on the internet.

Engineer @pse / @ MACI. Zero Knowledge, Coffee, D&D 🤓

On why, I would say both are making more accesible zk (to users and devs)

I’m personally excited about Zupass and PCDs (even though it uses Semaphore). And of course Noir 🫡

Adding ZK capabilities to eSIMs promises a bunch of interesting possibilities.

On the tooling side, projects targeting machine architectures such as RISC-V are exciting! Eg. RISC0, Powdr, SP1. Being able to compile and prove programs written in general purpose languages like Rust is a massive unlock for the development of privacy preserving applications and verifiable computation generally.

Addressing the sybil problem while preserving peoples' privacy is one of the highest impact things ZK tech can bring. It makes me more optimistic about what the future internet could look like in the presence of mass scale AI bots. Certainly in contrast to knee-jerk state solutions.

I find myself not having the bandwidth to be able to follow as many individual projects closely as I would like. But broadly speaking on the application side I find anything moving the needle on identity very exciting. Onchain or offchain.

If we're not including the projects that PSE maintains - then:
* zkp2p - super useful;
* risc0 & also saw SP1 recently, haven't tried yet, but seems good - because pf also useful and very good dev experience
* personae labs ships great stuff too 
I think there're a lot more, but this came to my mind right away

Devex: Noir, O1js, Chiquito and other zk DSLs
Infra: proving & verifying as a service (NEBRA, Alligned Layer)
Dev Tooling: Sindri, zkVMs

(biased) all projects who leverage government identitys (Proof of Passport/zkPassport/MynaWallet)

Too many good projects to mention :)
