This article reviews the definition and significance of coprocessors, and how to use the Bonsai ZK coprocessor architecture to expand applications.

The article compares the development of two decentralized social media platforms, Lens and Farcaster. Farcaster quickly grew into a phenomenal crypto social media platform by incentivizing users to post content using the "DEGEN" tag reward mechanism, attracting a large number of users and revenue. The Lens platform launched the BONSAI token, attempting to imitate Farcaster's success. The BONSAI token combines the features of ERC20 and ERC721, and despite price fluctuations, its use and acceptance on the Lens platform are gradually increasing. The Lens protocol, in collaboration with Bundlr Network and Arweave Ecosystem, launched an L3 extension solution called Momoka to improve transaction processing capability. Although Lens is still behind Farcaster in user activity and community size, it is working hard to narrow the gap through the Bonsai token and the Momoka solution.

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the innovative applications of zero-knowledge proof technology in the blockchain field, detailing the zkVM implementation based on the RISC-V architecture by RISC Zero, as well as its development of a series of open-source tools and products, such as Zeth, Kailua, and Bonsai. These tools play a crucial role in enhancing blockchain verification performance, reducing costs, and promoting the Ethereum ZK upgrade. As zkVM technology continues to optimize, its development potential will gradually be realized across various application scenarios. However, to fully unlock this potential, ecosystem collaboration and the practical performance of technology implementation will remain key.

This article explores coprocessor solutions and alternatives, and interprets the three major use cases that coprocessors can unlock.

The ZK coprocessor can be regarded as an off-chain computing plug-in derived from the modular concept. Its function is similar to the GPU in our traditional computers that shares graphics computing tasks for the CPU, that is, a processor that shares computing tasks in specific scenarios. . Under this design architecture, heavy data and complex calculation logic tasks that public chains are not good at can be calculated through the ZK coprocessor. The chain only needs to receive the returned calculation results, and its correctness is determined by ZK proof guarantees, and ultimately enables trusted off-chain calculations of complex tasks.

The article discusses the issue of limited blockchain processing capacity, introducing the design space of coprocessors and their potential use cases in decentralized applications.

This article provides an overview and interpretation of the concept, technical implementation and application of the ZK coprocessor.

This article primarily introduces Eclipse's canonical bridge and anti-fraud design, as well as the upcoming release of a monorepo that will contain the canonical bridge smart contracts, relayers, and Docker containers for running local development test networks. Eclipse is Ethereum's fastest Layer 2, powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Eclipse combines the best parts of a modular stack: Ethereum as the settlement layer for our cherished verification bridge, Celestia as the data availability layer, RISC Zero for generating our zero-knowledge fraud proofs, and Solana's SVM as the execution environment.

The Polyhedra network is an infrastructure built using zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology and light client protocol to achieve privacy and interoperability.

RISC Zero is one of the leading zkVM developers and has recently launched Steel, a view call proving library based on Alloy. This brings a significant transformation in how developers interact with Ethereum L1 or other EVM chains. Utilizing zero-knowledge proofs and the RISC Zero zkVM, Steel enables developers to perform view calls and provably read and compute the state of Ethereum in a scalable, secure, and cost-effective manner.

In-depth understanding of the latest developments in on-chain social protocols, including user activity and market performance of major platforms such as OpenSocial, Farcaster, DSCVR and Lens, and analysis of how these protocols promote the development of social networks through innovative business models and revenue sources decentralization, and explore how applications such as Zora Network, Friend.tech, and Pods.media leverage these protocols to provide unique experiences and revenue opportunities for their users.

This article will explore the future development of AI and cryptocurrency, as well as explore investment opportunities, through seven modules: computing power cloud, computing power market, model assetization and training, AI Agent, data assetization, ZKML, and AI applications.

The article explains the concepts of zkCorprocessor and zkOracle, highlighting the differences between the two and elaborating on the scenarios in which each type of zk is suitable for different use cases.

This article explores the potential applications of blockchain technology in the realm of social networks, analyzing how the capital formation and speculative behavior intersect with the attention market. It discusses the trends of Web3 social networks possibly replacing traditional social media and examines the development trends of emerging platforms like Polymarket and PumpFun. The article presents the viewpoint that Web3 social networks could become the primary form of social interaction in the future.
