In the era of AGI, what will we consider valuable? Likely, content that is certified as "human-made" will stand out as valuable. In other words, the focus of value evaluation will shift from the quality of the content to who created it. Therefore, our next challenge is identifying what is human and what is not in the digital world. Let me introduce the Humanity Protocol, which is utilizing Proof of Humanity (PoH) to create the infrastructure needed to prove our humanity and distinguish between humans and AI in the era of AGI.
zkRollup is emerging as a major pillar of layer 2 solutions, leveraging the technical advantages of zero-knowledge proofs. It is particularly impressive that Ethereum, which has the largest ecosystem, has officially chosen zkRollup as the direction for its layer 2 rollup. Additionally, Bitcoin is also seeking to achieve scalability by utilizing zkRollup. Following the emergence of Optimistic Rollup, zkRollup has been rapidly growing, offering advantages such as faster processing and lower operational costs. Let's take an in-depth look at zkRollup from its basics to the current market status and future prospects.
