Someone once told me: when you truly love something, you can't hide it at all; every day when you open your eyes, it's like you've been injected with adrenaline.

Over the past five months of persistently tackling the ZK track, I have thoroughly experienced it.

Every day, the first reaction upon opening my eyes is to see what new developments there are, how the technology has iterated, and whether it's worth writing something down to record it. It's not about being chased by deadlines, but purely the excitement of "wow, it's updated again." The more I research zero-knowledge proofs, the more fascinated I become; the technical details, application scenarios, performance breakthroughs... each aspect makes me want to dig deeper.

Perhaps this is what it feels like to find a direction that truly interests you—staying up late actively without feeling tired.
