I’m excited to announce the 21 startups we’ve selected to join our Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) Fall 2024 cohort, which starts this week.
Over the next 8 weeks, they’ll get firsthand lessons from top crypto founders, receive guidance and support from

@ETHWarsaw
- make sure to get your tickets for
@_vsummit
on September 4th to learn from our founder
@Euler__Lagrange
about how you can use Opacity to unlock new business models with verified data from anywhere on the internet.
Get you a founder that obsesses over a problem like

Ecosystem Highlight:
Opacity is working with
@NoshDelivery
to enable drivers and restaurants to export their existing reputation and profiles from monopolistic incumbents - unifying web2 and web3 to fix the internet.
Funny story,
I have been challenged by
@Euler__Lagrange
to make point at infinity more intuitive.
Challenge accepted and accomplished.
Also: My first Youtube short 0:45s! Yey!
Making cryptography friendly again. :)
This marks the first time entrepreneurs can leverage economic security for ZKPs of private user data for on-chain use - enabling a variety of different use cases such as client diversity on walled gardens and cryptographically secure sovereign identity solutions
you can't blame incumbents for not wanting to hand over data that breaks their business models
but its not their data
it belongs to us
let your users take back control of what is rightfully theirs
time to build the internet that we want, the way it was meant to be
🚨 Theme Announcement 🚨
3️⃣ Our third theme is Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) 🤝
🕸 The go-to method for computations, using data from multiple sources without revealing individual inputs. MPC is used for private key security, trusted setup ceremonies, web data proofs,

@mike_perhats
found crypto and
@OpacityNetwork
in searching for the fastest, most organic, and most efficient structure to take local networks global
zkTLS idea: social reviews
highlight reviews on websites like amazon, travelocity, yelp, etc based on social graphs from x, instagram, fb, etc.
ex: "7 of your friends from facebook rate this restaurant 4.7 stars on average"
composability in web2 is going to be wild
🚨 Theme Announcement 🚨
2⃣ Our second theme is Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) 🛡️
⛪️ The holy grail of cryptography, allowing computations on encrypted data without decryption. Join us at Verifiable Summit in Warsaw on September 4th to discover how to keep transactions
"zkTLS undermines the prevailing wisdom that network effects are a defensible moat"
time to reimagine a better internet for everyone (except rent seeking middlemen)

Wouldn't it be nice to know which of your friends bought a certain Amazon product and what rating they gave it?
The APIs we use everday are a goldmine of information and economic value, and now with Opacity - anyone can composably build on top of them.
What will you build?
Opacity is the bridge for data between web2 and web3 - “to the world we all talk about and want to see exist”
@mike_perhats
is building for the interoperable future - join us on TG for early access if you want to as well
I’ll be giving a talk at the Trust infrastructure day tomorrow alongside
@NoshDelivery
I think you’ll find our story will make you fall in love with decentralization all over again.

HackerHouse incredible! 🚀 The vibes were awesome, and the discussions enlightening. Together, we exceeded our goals, achieving deep knowledge transfer, unlocking use cases, and so much more. We are excited for what the future holds!
disrupting extractory incumbent markets is hard without a "huge technological breakthrough" Opacity and zkTLS is that breakthrough
@NoshDelivery
bringing user owned network disruption to your doorstep
we need to acknowledge that consumer crypto apps have a massive UX problem
if you require:

~ tying an email to a wallet address
~ a pfp
~ any extraneous field
just to let users *see* what they can do on your site,
you're not just risking their:

@Euler__Lagrange
is one of the most enthusiastic developers we have met in the ZK world. He is building a zkTLS AVS that I think will very useful to build a lot of applications on top.
We will make sure that
