Brian Redford: I've been following ZKV for about seven or eight years since I first discovered the PCP theorem of all probabilistically checkable proofs. Jeremy Bristol: Most of my startups historically have all been in that sort of arena where there's some sort of new theoretically interesting thing and then you figure out how to apply it. Guillermo: We are never giving financial advice on these shows. It goes without saying, but we thought we'd just let you know that before we kick off.
In this week’s episode, Anna and Guillermo chat with Brian Retford and Jeremy Bruestle from RISC Zero. They discuss their previous work in cloud infrastructure and how ZK offered unique solutions to long standing scaling problems. They cover topics like RISC-V, building VMs, and how RISC Zero aims to build a system which could support a decentralized public cloud.
