Hey #Mazzerian 

🔧 Why is it easier for $Mazze than for existing chains?

1️⃣ $Mazze is starting from scratch (greenfield project)
There’s no historical baggage (no backward compatibility).
Ethereum has an ecosystem that’s over XX years old, with millions of smart contracts that you can’t just port into ZK proofs without risk and complications.

$Mazze can design the entire system from the start with ZK in mind → this is incomparably easier than upgrading an existing chain.

2️⃣ $Mazze controls its own VM and standards
Ethereum uses the standard EVM → hard to convert into ZK circuits.

$Mazze can use a modified EVM (or zk-friendly EVM variant) from day one:

* It can avoid the most complicated parts for ZK (e.g., dynamic storage, recursion, etc.).
* It can write smart contracts optimized for verification, not for redundant execution.

3️⃣ PoW with Stratum V2 + ZK is more naturally integrated for $Mazze
Miners in $Mazze don’t just mine blocks—they can also generate the ZK proof of the block as part of the mining process.

This is similar to "proof of work" → only now the miner also packages a ZK proof.

In Ethereum, PoS validators don’t have that role and it’s hard to fit it into the existing staking system.

4️⃣ $Mazze has RandomX mining (CPU mining)
RandomX allows for more decentralized mining → more people can participate in verifying and creating blocks, so there are more candidates to generate ZK proofs.

In PoS networks, verification is often reserved for “wealthier” nodes with stake and expensive hardware.

5️⃣ $Mazze has no Layer X dependency
Ethereum has rollups (Arbitrum, zkSync, StarkNet) that have already created an ecosystem based on Layer X solutions.

$Mazze goes directly for Layer X scaling with ZK verification → no need for additional layers or bridges.
