I think there was a couple of things. As part of proving this like these BLS signatures, you need to do non-native field arithmetic. And I think a lot of people were just averse to doing something like that. But it turns out when you actually do it and you implement a bunch of optimizations, it actually does become like pretty possible to get a proving time that is realistic. Like it's not going to be a provingtime that's one second, but it actually is still quite feasible. We actually have like an end to end working demo of a bridge today from Ethereum and we're using a test net. It's also really not to run or in other situations,
In this week’s episode, Anna and Tarun speak with Succinct Labs. Guests Uma Roy and John Guibas discuss their interest in ZK, their work with 0xparc and the goals of Succinct Labs - that is to provide proof of consensus through SNARK-based light clients. Acting similar to IBC, but in the Ethereum context, we discuss the challenge of building ZK-based light clients on Ethereum, their first implementation linking Gnosis Chain to Ethereum, and how they imagine interacting with the larger blockchain space.

Today's episode is sponsored by Aztec. Aztec Network is building the first privacy-enabled zkRollup on Ethereum.
The team is proud to announce Noir, the world's first universal ZK language. Noir makes it safe and intuitive to write privacy-preserving ZK circuits.
Aztec is now hiring engineers and cryptographers to build the execution layer supporting Noir's private smart contracts.
