Really appreciate @drakefjustin 's thoughtful take on zkVMs! 💡Delphinus Lab will also be one of the 17 zkVMs sharing our updates on the April 25 call.

As a zkWASM team, we're cautiously optimistic about this technology's potential. While zkVMs can certainly help Ethereum scale, we believe the real challenge is finding practical use cases that genuinely benefit users.

We've been learning that success isn't just about the tech—it's about creating experiences people actually want to use.

Recently, we've seen some encouraging signs in the gaming space, where projects like @0xAutomataGames are using zkWASM to build on-chain mini-games with surprisingly good user retention.

We're still early in this journey, but we're focused on finding more of these practical applications that can either be fun to use or generate real yield for users. That's the bridge between impressive tech and actual adoption.

Looking forward to seeing where all the teams in this space take these innovations! 🚀

Here's my stance :)

We can scale the canonical L1 EVM by 1,000x—from 10 TPS to 10K TPS—using zkVMs. The core idea: validators verify a SNARK for every EVM block, instead of re-executing it.

I'll discuss this on @eth_proofs call #1, Fri Apr 25 at 2pm UTC. The founders of 17 zkVMs snarkifying the EVM will share updates. If there's one white-hot corner of crypto right now, it's zkVMs. The pace of progress is mind-blowing. DM me or @corcoranwill for a calendar invite to Ethproofs call #1.

That said, most users will still live on L2s. Why? Because L2s will offer a combined 10M TPS—100x from rollups, 100x from Danksharding, 100x from a decade of Nielsen's law. So the L1 EVM only gets 10K / 10M = 0.1% of activity, and that's perfectly fine.

The key to graceful horizontal scaling is preserving Ethereum-wide network effects:

→ native rollups = shared security
→ based rollups = shared composability
→ pristine ETH = shared money

Ethereum's future is incredibly bright. Believe in something :)
