The Cambrian Explosion of Zero Knowledge Proofs

In this week’s episode, Anna catches up with Eli Ben Sasson to talk about the latest from StarkWare, the explosion of new research within the zero knowledge space and the origin of new mathematical ideas.

Recorded right after the StarkWare Sessions in tel aviv, and during a period of incredible development in new cryptographic zk techniques and protocol proposals.

Here are some of the papers and ideas we cover:

• STARK-friendly hash competition
• Succinct Arguments in the Quantum Random Oracle Model
• More resources about StarkWare and STARK technology
• Henri Pointcaré - Science and Hypothesis
• The chapter mentioned is "On the Nature of Mathematical Reasoning"

As mentioned in the intro, the Zero Knowledge Summit is happening on Oct 26th in San Francisco

If you are a dev, researcher or founder working on these topics and want to attend, please submit your application here: https://forms.gle/bZvaywbvCe2dnBkD7
