Infrastructure Impact: Projects must demonstrate a significant contribution to the Ethereum network’s infrastructure, addressing both foundational needs and innovative solutions to current challenges.
Engagement in Pioneering Development: A focus on pioneering technologies or approaches that promise to elevate the Ethereum ecosystem, particularly in enhancing privacy, interoperability, and user experience.
Zerokit enables privacy preserving DoS protection (rate limiting) for projects that interact with the Ethereum ecosystem. Improving the user experience of various applications which are bottlenecked by Ethereum blocktime. It allows for DoS protection layer to unstructured P2P networks, reducing on-chain interaction to a maintaining a membership tree (registry) in a permissionless decentralized environment.

Infrastructure Impact: Projects must demonstrate a significant contribution to the Ethereum network’s infrastructure, addressing both foundational needs and innovative solutions to current challenges.
Zerokit, as described, provides privacy-preserving DoS protection for applications interacting with the Ethereum ecosystem, which exemplifies both foundational importance in maintaining network integrity and innovative use of zero knowledge proofs (arkworks) to enhance security without overburdening the chain.
Engagement in Pioneering Development: A focus on pioneering technologies or approaches that promise to elevate the Ethereum ecosystem, particularly in enhancing privacy, interoperability, and user experience.
The project utilizes rate limiting nullifiers (RLN) to improve privacy and user experience by reducing needed on-chain interactions and mitigating DoS attacks. This indicates a commitment to pioneering a privacy-focused technology, advancing the Ethereum ecosystem in terms of interoperability and user experience.
