I love seeing Optimism doing its thing. But I think ZK tech will eventually win over Optimistic tech

And when I say “ZK tech will win” this doesn’t mean that Optimistic tech will disappear completely.
Optimistic tech will always be needed for specific situations and it will always have users that prefer it.

What I mean by this is that Ethereum will end up being ZK centric for a multitude of reasons. Vitalik himself said this once on the Bankless podcast.

ZK is simply faster and cheaper than optimistic tech and most importantly, its a lot more private which is an added benefit for a blockchain known for its decentralization.

If anything, you can already start seeing tell tale signs of how the ecosystem is shifting towards ZK centric L2s just by looking at the funds being granted for development.
ZK based L2s have been getting A LOT more funding than optimistic based L2s plus they’re getting more partnerships as well.
Loopring’s famous partnership with GameStop is one example you’d think of instantly.
Another example would be ETH giants like BitDAO granting Zksync $200 million for the development of ZkDAO (apparently a scaling solution solely for DAOs).
And this is not to mention the tons of funds getting poured into ZK tech all over the Ethereum ecosystem.

Now compare these numbers and data with the ones being allocated for optimistic based L2s and you’ll know exactly what I mean.
Ethereum is slowly but surely heading towards ZK integration. That is a fact.
