I really hope WebAssembly was considered for this. Obviously not as fast or as specializable as RISC-V but definitely portable

Anyone can explain to me how zeroproof will actually work in a way that i don't have to trust anyone instead of just switching whom i trust?

Aka someone wants to know if i'm over 18, someone needs to verify to that entity that im over 18.

If i now trust a random company to verify me, someone now needs to trust that random company. As usual with Crypto/Bitcoin the trust anker issue is not solved as far as i know.

I always need to trust someone somehow.

Btw. if i understand the blog they do a hard fork which leads again to an additional blockchain and the multi blockchain transaction problem is a hard problem to solve.

Anyone actually working on solving the issues of it or people just prefer to add additional complexity on it?

Chain of trust (i.e like HTTPS certs). You'll have to have trusted oracles any way for blockchains. No way around that.
