In this week’s episode, we sit down with Justin Drake to discuss randomness in blockchain, how it can be created and what adversarial models exist. We also discuss the random beacon and how that concept has evolved in the development of ETH2.0
In this week’s episode, we chat with J. Ayo Akinyele from Bolt Labs about the Bolt Protocol, a layer 2 approach for anonymous micropayments. Bolt, which stands for Blind, Offchain, Lightweight, Transactions, is a privacy focused scaling solution that is similar to the Lightning Network.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with the Alex Vlasov and Alex Gluchowski from Matter Labs to discuss their approach to using zkSNARKs for scaling Ethereum. We chat about the inspiration for the Roll-up project, the Matter Labs implementation, their proposed Franklin network and more.
In this week’s episode, we speak with Julian Arni about Radicle, a decentralized alternative to Github built on IPFS. Radicle is both a programming language and a set of tools to enable decentralised open source software development. We go deep into this project and also touch on the societal questions that inspired it.
In this interview, we chat with Rune Christensen from MakerDAO about stablecoins, MakerDAO’s take on this concept, the peg and how this is maintained, security, oracles and more.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Sam Williams of Arweave to chat about their novel approach to decentralised storage. We discuss incentivising data storage, the concept of the permaweb, and how to properly decentralise the internet archives.
In this week’s special episode, Anna pops over to EthCC – the Ethereum Community Conference – to find out what’s on people’s minds. Speaking with Boris Mann, Maria Paula Fernandez, Hudson Jameson, Sunny Aggarwal, Yalda Mousavinia, and Peter Mauric, these conversations centre around decision making in the decentralised space, the role of transparency, the different organisations and groups that have formed in Ethereum to help make decisions, how compensation can play a role, the code of conduct, the importance of signaling and much more.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Martin Lundfall (Dapphub, MakerDAO) to discuss formal verification – a topic request that comes directly from the Zero Knowledge audience. We cover what formal verification is, where it makes sense, where it doesn’t, the k-framework, and much more.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Fredrik chat with Danny Ryan from the Ethereum Foundation about the ETH2.0 project. We cover how ETH2.0 came to be, how it works, the new roadmap, and where the project is headed.
In this week’s episode, we sit down with Igor Barinov from POA Network and Austin Griffith from Gitcoin Labs to discuss bridges, xDai – the new side-chain where DAI is the native token – and Austin’s super simple Burner Wallet.
In this week’s episode, Anna sits down with Jenna Zenk from Melonport to discuss her background, the path to the melon protocol, the challenges of building sophisticated smart contracts and what it means to release a decentralised protocol into the wild.
In this episode, we sit down with Bogdan Opanchuk and John “Tux” Pacific from NuCypher to chat about their threshold proxy re-encryption technology, how the project aims to provide privacy infrastructure, dig into their nuFHE scheme and explore far along FHE research, the cryptographic “holy grail”, really is.
