The Decentralize with Cointelegraph podcast explores how crypto and blockchain intersect with everyday life, from global platforms like Davos to local soccer fields.
One emerging blockchain technology is zero-knowledge proofs (ZK-proofs), which many believe can revolutionize smart contracts.
In the fourth episode of the six-part Zero Barriers series, host Andrew Fenton interviews pioneers of ZK-rollups. They discuss how these solutions have evolved in recent years and transformed the blockchain landscape. The guests provide insider perspective on the development and impact of this groundbreaking innovation.
This episode includes Eli Ben-Sasson, a pioneer in zero-knowledge proofs and architect of StarkWare, and Cem Dagdelen, co-founder of Giza which combines AI and zero-knowledge tech.
They take a retrospective look at the evolution of zero-knowledge proofs, from abstract theory to real-world implementations like StarkNet. The guests discuss the early development days and how ZK-powered smart contracts can integrate with other emerging technologies like AI.
Co-host Nathan Jeffay from StarkWare also provides perspective on the growth of zero-knowledge proofs and their transformative potential going forward. The episode offers insider viewpoints on the progress made with this technology over time.
The first three episodes of the Decentralize podcast’s Zero Barriers series covered Ethereum’s scalability, blockchain’s pain points, and its global impact.
Episode one featured StarkWare leaders exploring Ethereum’s future potential. Episodes two and three had guests from StarkWare, Braavos Wallet, and Canvas examining blockchain challenges and how the technology can evolve.
The new fourth episode shifts to the role of AI in zero-knowledge-powered smart contracts. It includes StarkWare and Giza founders sharing insights on combining AI and blockchain innovations.
The Zero Barriers series offers in-depth perspectives on zero-knowledge proofs and their trajectory. Find it on major podcast platforms.
