Episode notes

Lipsnark for the longest time was the primary and only library to use for ZK Snark protocols. However in the past two years we've seen the rise of more and more proof systems come out which meant new libraries that were introduced. So I guess the answer is there is no standardization anymore. There was for a while because it sort of hit there was one and now there's many.

In this episode, we sit down with Howard Wu to explore zkSNARKs, the challenges in the application of this awesome technology, the new ideas emerging for how to scale them and his latest work on DIZK.

This is the 2nd in our ongoing series about Zero Knowledge technologies. To get a good sense of Zero Knowledge Proofs, please listen to our introduction to the topic in Episode 21.

Howard Wu is an early member of Blockchain at Berkeley, the co-author of Libsnark, and a managing partner of Dekrypt Capital.
