🌙Aligned ZK Arcade Game Launch If you win the WL event swamp, make sure to try it out when it launches! It will be open to regular users later on! @alignedlayer 🌙Game Types Beast: Must be played on the terminal (higher difficulty, so slightly better rewards possible) Parity: A web browser game using Circom Both run on Aligned's ZK technology, and if you play and get on the leaderboard, there might be some rewards! Since it's not officially open yet, be careful of phishing sites and scams! 🌙What is Aligned Layer? These days, it's not an exaggeration to say that ZK technology has taken over blockchain, as many projects are showcasing ZK technology. @irys_xyz Iris's Proof of Publish, @AlloraNetwork Allora's Proof of Intelligence, and so on, the trend of utilizing zk technology in various fields continues. I also want to create PoL (Proof of Lily). So far, many projects have been built on Ethereum, but Ethereum was not designed with ZK technology in mind. Therefore, the proof process is complicated and costly. In the future, as zk technology increases significantly, the amount of verification will skyrocket. However, Ethereum alone will not be sufficient to handle this. Aligned Layer was created to solve this problem. 🌙Advantages of Aligned Layer Previously, Succinct and EigenLayer emerged as turning points to solve these issues. Succinct allows anyone to easily create blockchains using ZK technology, and EigenLayer allows new projects to run easily by borrowing Ethereum's security network. Here, Aligned Layer plays the role of quickly and cheaply verifying the ZK proofs created this way. In simple terms, it can be seen as a system that checks whether the ZK results are real. Aligned maintains Ethereum's security while enabling much faster and cheaper verification of ZK proofs. 🌙Reasons for Necessity 1. High cost issue of Ethereum Aligned processes proof verification on a separate layer, significantly reducing gas fees. 2. Unfair structure among proof technologies Aligned can verify all ZK systems equally, creating a fair environment. 3. Difficulty in adding new proof methods due to scalability limits Aligned can easily connect and update various types of proof systems. 4. High execution costs incurred when running on EVM Aligned processes proofs outside of EVM, making it much faster and cheaper. 5. Cost instability due to gas fee fluctuations Aligned minimizes the impact of gas fees to maintain consistent verification costs. 6. Processing delays caused by having to handle all processes directly Aligned quickly processes multiple proofs simultaneously. 7. Complex bridging structure for data movement between chains Using Aligned makes it easier and faster to connect data across multiple chains. Wishing everyone a great Chuseok! >•<
