This is why the @brevis_zk x Aster model stands out to me.

It flips the usual trade-off on its head. Execution speed comes first, so users get fast, smooth interactions that feel natural. Then ZK proofs follow right after to guarantee security and privacy without slowing everything down.

From my point of view, this matters because most systems force you to choose between good UX and strong guarantees. This approach removes that choice. You get speed, verifiability, and privacy in one flow.

When security is built in without friction, users don’t have to think about it. That’s how onchain systems scale and actually get adopted.
