We are super excited to work with

@MinaProtocol
on this. This is a first great example of showing how powerful
@alignedlayer
is.
This will allow ethereum to benefit from many of the features offered by Mina.
With this partnership we are giving developers from both
The future is verified.
@alignedlayer

This includes Mina’s succinct blockchain proof and the hundreds of thousands of proofs recursively rolled up in it, enabling a powerful Mina → Ethereum state bridge.

Blockchains are markets. In order to create more value they need to be connected between them and exchange value between each other. This has been naturally happening through CEX and some interoperability protocols. The only problem is most solutions are either custodial or built
It's 2024, blockchains that aren't highly interoperable are essentially a digital north korea.

Again:
The bottleneck is the verifier (Ethereum) not the provers.
The solution is taking the verification off-chain.
How can you do that securely? There are two ways:
1- Prove that you verified certain proofs off-chain (aggregation). This doesn't scale when you want to verify

For some people this seems counterintuitive so I will explain why this is the case.
Provers are getting better and cheaper, we need them to improve but it’s a matter of time until we make them incredibly good. Now, the only thing that is not improving is the most used verifier.
Once DA becomes cheap, proving cost will be the dominant factor. Once proving cost becomes cheap, verifying costs will be the dominant factor.

This is the worst take I have seen in ages. The whole idea with zkp is to maximize decentralization in the base layer with simple re-execution of verifiers and allow big computers to take care of heavy computation.
