According to Odaily, EigenLayer developer Nader Dabit recently shared insights on zkTLS via X. zkTLS, or Zero-Knowledge Transport Layer Security, is a technology that allows users to prove website data without revealing sensitive information, bridging Web2 data with Web3 applications. Built on the TLS protocol, zkTLS enables users to create data proofs displayed in web browsers, such as verifying bank balances or purchase histories without exposing the actual data. zkTLS operates using zero-knowledge proofs to validate data authenticity without disclosing the data itself. Key projects related to zkTLS include TLSNotary, DECO (Chainlink), PADO Labs, zkPass, and Reclaim Protocol, each with its unique approach and focus. Potential use cases for zkTLS span identity verification, social networks, crypto asset proof, DeFi lending, and medical data sharing. However, scalability remains a challenge, as each website requires a well-defined provider (URL and data location), which can be time-consuming. zkTLS is an active research area, with teams like Opacity Network working to enhance security, efficiency, and compatibility with the latest TLS versions.

EigenLayer developer Nader Dabit shared some information about zkTLS ELI5 on X: 1. zkTLS is a technology that allows users to prove website data without revealing their sensitive information. It connects Web2 data to Web3 applications; 2. zkTLS stands for "zero-knowledge transport layer security" and is built on top of the TLS protocol. With zkTLS, users can create data proofs that are displayed in a web browser. For example: prove bank balances or purchase history without exposing actual data; 3. Working principle: zkTLS uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify the authenticity of data without revealing the data itself. zkTLS related key projects: TLSNotary, DECO (Chainlink), PADO Labs, zkPass, Reclaim Protocol. Each has its own approach and focus; 4. Potential use cases: identity authentication, social networks, crypto asset proofs, DeFi lending, medical data sharing. Current challenges: scale. Each website requires a defined "provider" (URL + data location), which can be time-consuming; 5. zkTLS is an active research area. Teams like Opacity Network are working hard to improve security, efficiency, and compatibility with the latest TLS versions.

According to Odaily, on August 30 at 3 PM UTC, the third round of the ATOM Economic Zone (AEZ) Quadratic Grant has concluded its community MACI privacy voting and quadratic funding phase on the global developer incentive platform DoraHacks. The process now moves to the on-chain result tally and anti-sybil attack checks. The final MACI voting results and quadratic funding outcomes will jointly determine the distribution of the 8000 ATOM and 31,111 USDC grant pool for this round. By the end of the third round, a total of 2337 ATOM addresses participated in the AEZ Quadratic Grant's MACI privacy voting, generating over 19000 MACI messages. These messages have determined the allocation of a grant pool exceeding $50,000. This achievement marks the AEZ Quadratic Grant as the largest on-chain privacy voting long-term practice in Web3 history.
