I was chatting with an old crypto friend when he suddenly said, "Have you noticed that the things most easily overlooked in the space are often the most valuable?" I was taken aback and asked him what he meant. He laughed and said, "ZK + DePIN." I replied, "Isn't ZK about zero-knowledge proofs? The technology is impressive, but it's slow and expensive." He agreed, saying that precisely because it's "slow and expensive," it has created a new opportunity—there needs to be faster and cheaper computing power to run these proofs. Then he slammed the table and said, "Isn't it time for DePIN to step in?" DePIN is essentially a decentralized computing power market. In simple terms, if someone’s computer has spare capacity, they can share it to earn some computing fees. Many people are doing this now, challenging the traditional centralized, expensive, and slow model of cloud computing. Now think about it—ZK needs computing power, and DePIN provides it. When the two connect, it's like coffee meeting milk foam—a perfect blend. At this point, he threw a project name at me: "Check out @cysic_xyz; they are taking off at this intersection." They are developing a ZK acceleration engine while building a decentralized computing power network, capturing the future technological mainline of ZK while riding the wave of shared computing power with DePIN. In simple terms, while others are still going solo, they are already doing the work of "ZK needs me, and DePIN can't do without me." My buddy added one last thing: "These kinds of combinations may seem niche, but they are actually quite appealing. The next generation of infrastructure might just emerge from these overlooked intersections."
