Crypto is shifting from faster chains to a verifiable internet. For years, the focus was Solana, L2s: increase bandwidth, reduce latency. But blockchains are best at issuing + transferring assets. Web2 apps need scalable DBs, real-time data streams, AI inference, APIs. The new wave isn’t “make web3 infra better” — it’s “npm install verifiability” into everything. Some cool teams I'm following in this space: - EigenCloud by @eigenlayer: expanding from AVSs to verifiable cloud platform for app developers, strong cryptoeconomic security base - @deltadotnetwork: only verifies what matters on domains, a new primitive beyond blockchains, rest on web2 rails - @Infinity_VM: L1 + enshrined optimistic zkCoprocessor, Rust for compute and proofs when challenged - vApps by @SuccinctLabs & @LayerZero_Core: chain-agnostic apps settling via SP1 proofs + LZ messaging - Chainless Apps by @BrianSeong99: modular framework for chain-agnostic apps with zk/cryptoeconomic/tee options - @shelbyserves by @AptosLabs & @jump_: verifiable data layer, whitepaper hints at verifiable compute on top of Shelby And seeing many teams (3+) who are building a TEE-based verifiable internet. Curious who I missed and should be diving deeper into. Will be reading/writing more over the coming weeks - I want to understand what the future looks like :)
