Recently, everyone has been crazily discussing ZK (zero-knowledge proofs), privacy computing, and decentralized computing power, but many people have overlooked an extremely fatal underlying bottleneck: hardware can't keep up. The current blockchain world is like having the most advanced racing car design in the world, but being able to barely drive it with a tractor engine.
Why do you say that? Because the computational load of advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs is extremely large. If we rely solely on traditional CPUs or GPUs to run software simulations, not only is the speed of generating proofs outrageously slow, but the network costs are also extremely high, making it impossible to support the large-scale landing of Web3 applications that could easily have hundreds of millions of users in the future. To truly achieve the widespread adoption of ZK technology, and even to bring fully homomorphic encryption, the 'holy grail of cryptography,' out of the laboratory, optimizing only at the software code level has long hit a ceiling.
What we lack the most now is a specialized underlying hardware infrastructure tailored for cryptographic computations. It's like the eve of the AI explosion, where NVIDIA's GPUs broke through the limits of computing power, leading to the birth of ChatGPT. In the next big cycle of Web3, an ecosystem that can provide customized, verifiable computing hardware (VPU) will undoubtedly become the absolute core sought after by large funds and smart money. This is a blue ocean market that has not yet been fully explored by the public, and it is a highly certain track Alpha that we can grasp at this stage.
If you understand the major trend of 'hardware-based computing power', you will realize the importance of preemptively positioning within the core ecosystem. The team that can truly address the pain points of cryptographic hardware acceleration will inevitably reshape the value distribution of the entire industry. Next, we need to focus on those pioneers in infrastructure that have genuinely implemented verifiable computing networks and possess hardcore technological barriers. Without a doubt, the underlying revolution driven by @FabricFND is injecting extremely powerful momentum into its ecosystem, and $ROBO is undoubtedly the core vehicle for capturing this immense value; don't wait until the windfall is soaring before trying to chase it! #ROBO
