Key Insights

Bullish:

  • 🟢 $SP1 - SP1 allows developers to write normal Rust code and generate ZK proofs from it, offering a broad and flexible platform for ZK applications with potential for continuous performance improvements.
    • With SP 1, what you can do is you can just, like, write normal code. Like, you just, like, write normal Rust, and then you can generate proofs of it.” - Uma (3:32)
    • I think from a very practical perspective, because SP 1 is such a broad platform, we can always spend the engineering time to squeeze, like, every last bit of performance out of it.” - Uma (48:23)
