ZK Ecosystem Map
Introducing the ZK Ecosystem Map! This post is evolved from a Twitter thread I published not too long ago. Zero knowledge (ZK) is an explosive area within the cryptocurrency and cybersecurity communities, and I made this Ecosystem Map to help outline what's going on. TLDR;Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP/ZK) are a way to prove something is true without saying how or why you know it is trueZK is an increasingly optimized technology that helps scale trustless decentralized systemsThe number of s...

What are Liquid Staking Tokens?
Proof-of-stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchains to process transactions, create new blocks, and maintain the chain’s security. In PoS ecosystems, tokens are staked in order to provide security for the network. In return for staking their tokens, users are compensated with block rewards from the network and fees paid by users. To stake tokens, users run validator nodes. Given the technicalities involved with this, validation is typically undertaken by professional node runner...

What is RAG in Gen AI?
Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that combines the strengths of both retrieval-based and generation-based artificial intelligence (AI) models. For example, RAG can give a large language model (LLM) knowledge of the current price of Bitcoin when that LLM is asked how much $BTC one can buy for $1,000. This story quickly explains RAG in the context of LLMs from the ground up.What is Natural Language Processing?Natural language processing (NLP)...
