Sharing the first draft of The ZK Credo โ a declaration of the foundational principles for the emerging ZK-powered Internet of Value.
v1 is now live on GitHub for community discussion and feedback from the Credo's rightful owner: You!
Since then, @zksync has evolved from a purely technical project into a passionate community united by a common mission: Harnessing the magic of ZK tech to advance personal freedom for all.
Every mission requires a North Star, a compass that ensures the voyager stays on course. The ZK Credo serves as this North Star for @zksync, and our hope is that it will fulfill this crucial purpose for the entire web3 ecosystem.
The ZK Credo is not exclusive to @zksync. We'd ๐ to see it embraced by the entire Web3 ecosystem, all projects dedicated to ZK tech, and individuals worldwide who believe in the transformative power of self-sovereign digital ownership.
The ZK Credo addresses (1) principles and (2) community ethos.
(1) The foundational principles that are critical for decentralized networks:
- Trustlessness
- Security
- Reliability
- Censorship-Resistance
- Privacy
- Accessibility
- Hyperscalability
- Sovereignty
(2) The community ethos: The understanding of a shared moral duty for collective action against oppression. Only when this value is deeply embedded within the community can the network withstand the gradual consolidation of power over time.
