Why is this better than a typical block explorer?

This is the first baby step towards running a full node on your phone. ZeroSync is working on zk proofs of the bitcoin blockchain. Essentially this will allow someone (doesn't matter who) to pre-compute a validation proof for the entire blockchain and produce a ~1MB file that can be trustlessly verified very quickly with very little hardware.

Right now you can only do this for the block headers, step 2 is the blockchain w/o signatures, step 3 is the entire blockchain.

We're pushing full trustlessness out to the very edge of the network, so you won't need to run a server to be fully self-sovereign. Fucking rad! 🤘
