Episode 120: ZKPs in Ethereum with Vitalik Buterin & Justin Drake

In this episode, we catch up with Justin Drake (https://twitter.com/drakefjustin) and Vitalik Buterin (https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin) from the Ethereum Foundation (https://twitter.com/ethereum) to chat about how zero knowledge proof systems are being used throughout the Eth1x and Eth2.0 stacks. We look at their applications for privacy and scalability throughout layer 1, layer 1.5 and layer 2, as well as explore some other emerging applications. Here were some of the articles and ideas discussed: 5 ways to optimise zkps: * Remove the need for FFTs * Sparseness * Recursion * Custom gates * Hardware Jacobian groups https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/196.pdf Trilinear maps https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.07923 Give the Zero Knowledge Podcast some feedback.
