ZeroSync Receives Spiral Grant to Work on Bitcoin Proofs

ZeroSync foundation has become the latest Spiral grantee.

No Bullshit Bitcoin is funded by our community.

"ZeroSync is our first grantee to work on bitcoin proofs (think of them as zero-knowledge proofs for bitcoin), a mechanic which allows nodes to quickly sync compressed blockchain data without having to download hundreds of gigs worth of people testing new wallets," was announced on X.
"Bitcoin proofs accelerate how quickly nodes can be bootstrapped, improving decentralization, scaling, and privacy. Though ZeroSync is technically a foundation, much of the lifting is done by great-head-of-1980s-hair-haver Robin Linus."
