The speakers introduce themselves and their experiences in applying zero knowledge proofs and novel cryptography to cryptocurrency. They explain the high-level view of CODA, a new cryptocurrency protocol, and how zero knowledge proofs are used for efficiency and scalability. They also discuss the concept of proof composition and using zero knowledge proofs to certify computational statements.
In this week's episode, we sit down with Izaak Meckler & Evan Shapiro from O(1) Labs to discuss Coda, a blockchain using recursive composition of zkSNARKs to eliminate history. We discuss recursive zkSNARKs generally, what a recursive zkSNARK construction blockchain would look like, and the challenges in implementing this sophisticated scaling solution.
