zkPass

🧵1/6

@VitalikButerin called it in Jan 2026: the real fight is taking back lost ground in computing self sovereignty. Stop waiting for one perfect primitive and start composing imperfect ones.

So we stopped arguing ZK vs TEE and shipped both. @zkPass proves what is true with VOLE-based ZK and VOLE-in-the-Head, generating verifiable proofs that never expose a user's raw data. TEE proves the verifier ran honestly.

Two layers, two different failure modes, zero overlap.

Here is how we deleted Byzantine consensus from the verifier stack entirely. 👇

Proud to partner with @HouseofChimera’s MEGASPACE on The Privacy Stack.

Bringing 20 teams together to advance essential privacy tech for Web3 is exactly the kind of collaboration the ecosystem needs.

The useful question for ZK is how much data an application can stop collecting while still making the same decision.

Eligibility, account ownership, spending limits.

Each check we can turn into a narrowly scoped proof is one less reason to copy someone’s private records.

Binance will reopen withdrawals for more assets starting November 5 at 04:00 UTC. Availability will expand in phases as security checks are completed for each asset and network.

Please check the withdrawal page for the latest availability.

Every time an app asks for raw data, it creates another copy someone has to secure.

With ZK, the app can verify the claim without receiving that copy. And with open-source code, anyone can check exactly what the proof reveals.
