Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Bricks connects these worlds with institutional gray tokenization, local banking rails, compliance across jurisdictions, and real-time stablecoin settlements.

Bricks does the heavy lifting so DeFi can finally access real collateral and structured products on top of real world yield.

Even the best carry trades can be within reach.

Bricks brings DeFi's promise to the emerging world and brings emerging market yield to your wallet.

Let the yield flow with Bricks.

Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Maybe going back to just like what makes a blockchain a blockchain.

Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Bitcoin had this fundamental insight of the way that we get rid of a leader in a blockchain is that everyone checks the legitimacy, the authenticity, the correctness of everyone else.

And so when some Bitcoin miner mines a block, but if it finds the correct hash and it proposes that that block,

Everyone else in the network doesn't trust that leader.

They re-execute all of the same work to verify it for themselves.

Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

And that's the way that Bitcoin discovered the way to have a decentralized network is everyone's checking everyone else.

Bankless

And that re-execute word has just been the status quo for all blockchains.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Everyone re-does all of the work.

Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

And the way that that impacts blockchains, all blockchains to this day, is that it kind of is hamstrung by the slowest node in the network.

Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Or at least there is some requirement for computation that every blockchain has that, you know, if you aren't at least this fast, you can't keep up with the network because you can't keep up with executing all the everyone else's work.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

And now, you know, some blockchains have different opinions as to like how much requirement you have.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Bitcoin's is very low.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

Ethereum has also been a very low requirement because we want to be decentralized.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

as you said, some chains like Solana or other very fast chains have had a higher opinion as to the computational requirements it takes to do the re-execution.

Bankless
Ethereum's Last Big Upgrade: The zkEVM | Ansgar Dietrichs

But nonetheless, all blockchains to this day are re-executing all of the same work and it's redundant.
