Instruction, yeah.

I really like the idea of there has been this three parallel paths of computing, first starting with computers where they were first narrow and then we were able to make them generalized and then we were able to make them generalized and fast, which is where modern computers are now to this day.

And then we created blockchains, you know, virtualized ledger-based computers in the sky, decentralized systems.

They started narrow with Bitcoin.

And then we learned to generalize them with Ethereum.

And then we learned to generalize them and make them fast with many other smart contract chains.

And now we are doing the same thing with cryptography.

Started narrow with cryptography, learned to make it generalized, and now we are making them generalized and fast.

And that generalized and fast unlock on the computing tech tree of cryptography is now being able to be taken and bestowed into Ethereum, which is what we're going to talk about for the rest of this episode.

So now that we have the ZK EVM and it's in the Ethereum blockchain and it's up and running, what does that actually change with Ethereum?

When we get to this point, how does Ethereum actually change?

Right.

You zoomed in on each one of those three.

And as you just said, you put those three together.

That's how a blockchain becomes a blockchain.

And we improve all three of those things.

I want to zoom out and really focus at that level of advantage.

When we reconstruct how a blockchain becomes a blockchain on all three comprehensively, you really kind of said it when you said Ethereum uses its own data availability to be a ZK rollout.

As I understand it, the ZK EVM, when it is up and running and operational and fully fleshed out and forked into Ethereum, the Ethereum layer one has the performance of a blockchain that is a ZK, that would like be a ZK rollup.

In fact, it maybe even is ZK.
