Writing thoughts as I look through the deck...
Helium mobile is a decentralized public infrastructure network (DePIN) that enables a cellular data provision and consumption through permissionless economic incentives.

Non-primary risks:
- regulatory (this is a security, does not pass bahamas test)
- technical risk (smart contract risk, custody risk, etc.):
- noteable that all their material references Lido's stETH (and doesn't include rETH, frETH, self-staked...), perhaps this is @dragonfly pumping their bags article
- this will, by definition, never be 0; so you have to swallow the pill if you want to play ball
Optimism made a proposal (Ethereum Foundation RFP) to add ZK-proofs to their native stack. Specifically, "Implement a zero knowledge proof which can prove Optimism’s fault proof program through an instruction set architecture supported by the golang compiler."
Goal: Enable secure and efficient cross-chain/rollup communication.
They offered a baseline grant of 250k OP and were accepting multiple proposals.

Zero Knowledge cryptography is a field of study wherein maths are used to prove some prposition to be valid, without revealing any further information about the proposition.
Example application: A person may utilize a ZK proof to verify that he/she is above the legal drinking age without revealing his/her age.
