Kusama Futures in the JAM Era

Do we want to insist on it being a cypherpunk network, because if we do, then we need to attract more cypherpunk builders or we need to build ourselves, we need to do outreach and we need a clear message, because just repeating over and over “Expect Chaos” is not really doing anything today. Yes, there are still a few projects running on Kusama and some that have worked towards bringing activity and revenue to the network, but as I see it today, it is not enough. Many were curious and wanted to know what the Kusama Vision was but many also went away since we had no answers for them and this was our collective fault

Would like to bump the privacy angle, painting kusama as a home of resilient decentralized privacy and ZK applications. A great push was made in this blog post: Make Kusama Chaotic Again

As a runner of Kusama Assethub’s most used eth-rpc, the majority of builders that come both to build on Kusama and prototype is mostly people interesting in zk applications, Kusama has a lot of potential to be the home for more experimentation.

Having Kusama represent web3 values of Resilient, uncensorablility, and offering a tech stack that lets ZK developers run their code both faster and better is a great USP.

• The Kusama Vision program is delivering results, such as the ZK bounty working hand in hand with the zk-email team to bring noir which is the most popular zk framework to dotsama.

As shield.markets is a privacy project in it to live resilient on Kusama AH, Kusama prioritising privacy and resilient execution for smart contracts is a big deal

Kusama: It's time we build our answers
