Defense in depth is the key part imo.

ZK = mathematical integrity
TEE = fast, practical execution +  privacy

And when you use them together, you reduce the “single point of failure” risk.

For Zksync and $ZK, the biggest year so far starts today.

Not because of hype, but because infrastructure years always come after narrative years.
