Mar 13, 2024âĸ2 min read
If you have zero knowledge about zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), this episode is for you.
For this session, Social Block host Magy made it her prerogative to learn more about ZKPs, exploring what they are from a technical standpoint, as well as their use cases. To help her, she had ZKM.ioâs Pavel Sinelnikov who specializes in the development of zkMIPs solutions, and took the time to unpack the complexity of a technology that is finding crucial application in the blockchain space.
Episode #16: Zero Knowledge & the Future of Trust
In this episode, Magy and Pavel started with a breakdown of ZKPs as a technology, and then moved on to its applications and more philosophical questions:
âDid you know zero-knowledge proofs can be used for more than just privacy? (Magy didnât).
đ¤Can zero-knowledge proofs prove anything?
đąTypes of zero-knowledge proofs â i.e. interactive vs. non-interactive, zkSTARKs, zkSNARKs.
đ§ŠUse cases for ZKPs specifically for blockchain â think Layer 2s, batching, rollups, and lower gas fees.
đĒHow zero-knowledge proofs can change the concept of trust in the future.
