In 2013, a teenager who loved World of Warcraft faced a brutal lesson:
One day, Blizzard nerfed his favorite spell.
Without warning. Without apology.

Vitalik Buterin realized:
Centralized systems can change the rules overnight.
And you have no power to resist.

That tiny heartbreak became the seed of a revolution.

Vitalik didn’t just dream of a better game.
He dreamed of a better world — one built on unstoppable code.

In his mind, fairness wasn’t a feature.
It had to be the foundation.

So he wrote.
Line after line, whitepaper after whitepaper.
He wandered the world, slept on couches, fought loneliness.

And he built Ethereum — not just a platform, but a platform for platforms —
where anyone could launch their own vision of fairness.

But success brings new enemies.
As Ethereum grew, so did the attacks:

- Scalability crises

- DAO hacks

- Endless tribal wars

Vitalik realized something deeper:
If decentralization was the dream, scalability and privacy were the survival.

That’s why he became one of the strongest voices for ZK.

In Vitalik’s world, Zero-Knowledge isn’t just math.
It’s survival.
It’s humanity’s shield against the fragility of trust.

At ZEROBASE, we share this belief.

ZK isn’t a luxury.
It’s the firewall against a future where your rights are dictated by whoever holds the backend keys.

We’re building with the same stubborn hope:
Freedom by math. Freedom by design.

If you ever feel small, remember:
One game update broke a spell.
One boy decided the world deserved better.

Today, millions build because he once refused to accept broken systems.

Small cracks.
Big revolutions.
