We just launched our dev platform and announced our fundraise. The culmination of years of obsession, hard work, and a lot of shit posting on farcaster.

The die has been cast, only the beginning of a long journey fixing the internet.

Our seed round is co-lead by @archetype  and Breyer capital, with participation from @a16zcrypto CSX and others.

Special thanks to @osprey  @androidsixteen.eth for being such great angels.

And to @ncitron.eth and @eddy for putting up with my relentless DMs!

early stage crypto fund accelerating the programmable future

people always ask me why i like having many screens 
this is me working on 12 prs at the same time and I could do around 5-10 more if I had another screen or two 

PartyDAO’s $TICKER was a MASSIVE rug and we all forgot ab it within a week. 
A bitter outcome is that anon devs will never really be trusted but maybe we can ZK this problem away @dawufi

launchpad zkTLS idea: prove your reputation (i.e. employer, github commits, etc) so people can filter which coins they want to buy based on real world anonymized data

degen version: prove you made generation wealth on gamestop options when launching your token

reality: this is all just a ploy for me to see which crypto developers are truly down to gamble for the cause

zkTLS idea (whistleblowing riff): anon bot that tweets verified DMs that reveals the sender but not the submitter

i.e. some person definitely said this in a chat but you won't know who sent it

mostly useful for leaking chats of groups with plausible deniability

Today was one of the craziest days.

Im in a movie rn type shit.

Like the last 2 years has been a sequence of events that lead up to this moment.

cc @androolloyd and actually the legend @gus though he doesn’t know it yet 

ofc @dawufi in here to

I really fucking love the team we have here at /opacity  

@pablob has graduated from @dawufi jr to Pablo. The man spotted an opportunity and executed quietly for a few months and only told me after it hit big.

Can’t wait to tell the full story. But now im going on a hunting trip in Spain for some relationship building 😉

@gus  wanna come?

I'm pretty sure the reason I spotted the zkTLS opportunity so early on was because of the side hobby of reverse engineering mobile APIs.

That’s really impressive. Honestly I’m not surprised either. Seems like you’ve built an environment where people aren’t afraid to be themselves. I think that goes a long way. Additionally, and I’ve felt this way since you first told me about the project, in my DMs before it had a name or you’d announced it officially at least: this is an idea that has legs and I think the kind of people serious enough to apply and get hired, want to see it through.

Best attempt at TLS deniability in a meme:

- Alice and Bob share a locked box with two keys.
- Bob puts gold in the box.
- Alice opens it and sees the gold.
- Alice tells Charlie: “Bob sent me gold!”
- Charlie: "Alice could’ve put it there herself"

This is why zkTLS is a lot more complicated than you think
