Anna and James Prestwich chat with Arbitrum’s founders, Ed Felten and Steven Goldfeder, and learn about their Optimistic Rollup architecture.

Anna chats with Alberto Garoffolo from Horizen Labs about their upcoming SNARK-powered Zendoo protocol and Latus sidechain construction.

Ben Jones and Mark Tyneway from Optimism discuss the design and vision of their Optimistic Rollup

In this week’s episode, Anna chats with Zac Williamson and Joe Andrews from Aztec all about their zk-zk-rollup, zk.money, Aztec 2.0 and TurboPLONK.

Anna Rose and Alex Gluchowski from Matter Labs chat about how zkRollups can extend Ethereum’s capabilities with zkEVM and zkPorter.

In today’s episode, Anna and James chat with three representatives of the Cosmos ecosystem – Zaki Manian, Tess Rinearson and Shahan Khatchadourian – to learn all about its recent milestone upgrade, Stargate.

This week, Anna & Tarun take an in-depth look into AMMs with Guillermo Angeris, a PhD student in Stanford who co-authored a number of papers on fundamental AMM properties. His most recent paper deals with privacy in AMMs, effectively demonstrating how superficial attempts at making a private AMM are doomed. But there is hope! And in this conversation, they explore some mitigations that can not only allow for effective use of privacy in AMMs, but could provide benefits from its inclusion.

In this week’s episode, Anna chats with Alex Ozdemir, a PhD student at Stanford researching formal methods, cryptography and distributed systems. They take a bird’s eye view of the current landscape of zk languages and libraries, looking at the history and current state-of-the-art of circuit-building tools.

In this week’s episode, Anna goes on a grand tour of the Polkadot ecosystem ahead of the launch of Parachains. In this multi-interview episode, she explores the Polkadot ecosystem, how teams are interacting with the existing tech stacks, what they are looking forward to, and how these networks may evolve in the future once Parachains go live.

In this week’s episode, Anna and Tarun talk with Simon Peffers and Kelly Olson from Supranational, a startup focused on building specialised software and hardware for advanced cryptographic computation. Simon and Kelly talk about their recent work helping out the Ethereum Foundation with VDFs, as well as building a better SNARK algorithm for Protocol Labs’ Filecoin.

In this week’s episode, Anna and Robert Habermeier chat with Pratyush Mishra, co-author of the Arkworks toolkit. Arkworks is a collection of Rust libraries designed to simplify development with SNARKs, both for developing high-level application circuits and building custom SNARK implementations.

In this week’s episode, Anna and James Prestwich chat with Phil Daian and Stephane Gosselin from the Flashbots project. Flashbots is a research and development organization formed to mitigate the negative externalities and existential risks posed by miner-extractable value (MEV) to smart-contract blockchains
