ZK circuts is the solution for verifying complex computations on-chain

But the real question: why does this code need to be verified on-chain at all?

Not opportunities for work, but opportunities to learn and build stuff

The community is full of people who build dashboards for fun, it'll be much easier to find work if you're already passionate about data and are building things for fun.

I've got friends in the data side of crypto and they seem to really enjoy it. It's not quit as in demand as an engineer, but still a "hard skill" with plenty of opportunities.

I've heard the Dune community is a great place to learn more about data, I'd suggest hanging out in their discord.

There are tons of stories of HR people who will immediately reject people who previously worked in the crypto industry.

If a company rejects people for having worked in crypto, it's not the kind of company you want to work for anyways.

Crypto has some of the brightest engineers in the tech industry. Anyone that develops strong skills in the industry should have no problem pivoting to other industries if they chose.

Yep, I've never seen someone ask "is this a scam" with the answer "nope, totally legit"

I have had a few offers made on my art but they buyer wants to pay with Ethereum

This is a common scam

Technically, they're going to transition from an sidechain (which is basically a fancy word for L1) into a Validium, with settlement on Ethereum but data-availability external.

There's been debate over whether Validiums should be considered L2s, given that they don't fully inherit Etheruem's security.

Commit chain doesn't provide any security

I could commit the state of Solana to Ethereum, but that doesn't make Solana an L2
