SNARK PoW is more efficient than PoS. - higher gas limit bc no re-execution - faster blocks bc way less networking on the fork choice rule bc PoW doesn't have voting - zero amortised wasted energy/work by IVCing bundles of proven transactions instead of grinding nonces. - thinner and permissionsless MEV pipeline without relays Non trivial to build, but Ethereum has the best chance of harnessing its strengths because of its strong existing liquidity and mature DeFi ecosystem. Unstoppable because PoW with adaptive difficulty / throughput / gas to amount of ZK compute in the system. The moment you add PoW incentives to a system the function gets turbo optimized. In this case, proving EVM activity. Like SHA256 in Bitcoin this is how we will get ZKEVM ASICs. The cryptographic supercomputer will aggregate idle compute from everywhere in the world and translate it into decentralized trust. Ethereum.

So we're basically moving towards POW again but for L1 zk proving(?) Protocol now pays out to the fastest valid proof bid (lots of other simultaneously attempted proof bids) massively more scalable but notably less energy efficient than simple POS (?)
