Want to use Designated Verfier but don't want to redesign your app? Just make a Pedersen commitment before you hash.

@ant_sabado @zksync Well done to the @NethermindEth team for proving the formal correctness of an on-chain ZKP verifier. An important step in ZKP audibility!

Also a rare example of a fast, practical ZKP that is ready to deploy today.

Topics include: - TEA and AI - Blockchains, Distributed Ledgers and implementations - Regulatory, tax and corruption implications of TEA - Accounting and audit - Impacts on the professionals in the field; accountants and systems providers - The crisis in Accounting; Enron, Wirecard, SinoForest, GFC, FTX - Impact on society; corruption and privacy - Commercial applications and use cases - ESG, Charitable sectors and public sector accounting - Tokenisation, smart contracts and the Ricardian contract - History and evolution of Accounting leading to TEA - Legal implications of facts and inter-corporate data

OP_CAT will first bring miner-validated tokens to BTC then DEFi in the form of ZKP through verification. It will be the most significant milestone in a decade once enabled.

RT @scryptplatform: #OPCAT highlighted

@100_Layer Absolutely!

RT @rot13maxi: Thats him. The one that thinks concatenating two stack elements is dangerous

@100_Layer Great idea - trade BTC securely on another chain and save on fees. Makes critical use of PUSHTX using OP_CAt

@Brendan_Lee__ @scryptplatform ZKP verification - it's usually EC arithmetic under the hood. Or you could use it to prove key derivation paths

@Brendan_Lee__ Yep, it's a valid objection. We have to balance the trade-offs
