Welcome back to another issue of Vault. Below is everything I read this week from around the crypto and web3 space. I’ve been focusing on the history of cryptography and the innovation happening right now around ZK Proofs. Looking forward to the Merge next month as well, which will hopefully go a long way towards silencing the criticism around Ethereum’s energy use. Finally, I’m watching the cc0 movement in NFTs. Does information truly want to be free?

I’m quickly becoming a maxi about the need to understand the difference between protocols and front ends in decentralized crypto applications. The ramifications for failing to do so have significant legal, policy, and practical consequences. 1/6

A note:

I’ll be publishing Vault biweekly going forward—in an effort to balance production between Vault, my personal substack (coming soon), and Akash.
