What Telah believes

From the essay Proving new worlds with zkTLS:

• Data portability is going to reshape the Web3 industry, from onboarding flows to vampire attacks that redefine the economics of Web2 businesses.
• The missing piece for real world crypto adoption is data: zkTLS is a gateway between private Web2 data and the Web3 ecosystem.
• zkTLS is likely to become a commoditized infra piece available on every chain, and a key differentiator for builders.

What Telah publishes

• Proving new worlds with zkTLS: Telah's essay on zkTLS: history, ten projects (DECO, TLSNotary, Reclaim, zkPass and more), open questions and use cases.
• Awesome FHE blockchain: A curated list of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) x blockchain resources, libraries and projects, kept by Telah on GitHub.

The zkTLS essay is written by Aaron Elijah Mars.
