1. Optimistic Proofs vs. ZK Proofs: Who Will Prevail in the Future
Let’s go back to the basics of blockchain. Blockchain is essentially a state machine, where the state changes with transactions and the shared state is accessible to all participants. Ensuring consensus among all participants on the shared state is crucial. To achieve better consensus and eliminate the need for trust in a single party, blockchain focuses on decentralization. However, this decentralization may limit scalability, making it difficult to accommodate more transactions. These challenges form the trilemma of blockchain.
2. Retrospective Analysis of the Most Rational ZK Airdrop Rules Across the Network
Today, it seems politically correct to criticize ZK, as nine out of ten people did not receive the airdrop.

Some don’t want to understand, some truly don’t understand, some are halfway there, mainly because the airdrop rules of zksync are too complex, and there isn’t a Chinese tweet that truly explains the rules.
3. Key Data Analysis of API3
API3 is an innovative first-party oracle that differs from other oracles in that its data does not require third-party aggregation and is provided directly by the data source. This is achieved through the core component Airnode, which allows API providers to easily run their own oracle nodes and directly publish data sources (dAPIs) to any dApp interested in their services.
4. How to Solve the Long-Term Storage and Access Issues of Ethereum Historical Data After the Dencun Upgrade?
With the popularity of the Ethereum network and the increasing demand for applications, its historical state data is growing rapidly. To address this issue, Ethereum has been gradually improving, from the initial full nodes to light clients, and most recently, the Dencun upgrade introduced a state expiration feature to automatically clean up long-unused data.
