Building on Ethereum and the Challenges of Scalability

In this week’s episode, we catch-up our friend Lucas Vogelsang from Centrifuge. Centrifuge is an open, decentralized platform to connect the global financial supply chain. We chat about the journey Lucas took to co-founding this company, how privacy plays a role in his thinking and we discover what it means to be a project building with zkSNARKs today.

We touch on a few previous episodes including:

• Zooko talks Zcash on our 50th episode
• Zokrates with Jacob Eberhardt
• Circom & Snarkjs from the zkSummit zk0x03

Thanks to this week's sponsor Nucypher!

Nucypher is currently looking for an engineering lead to work on a new open-source cryptosystem for privacy-preserving smart contracts. This is a new product and so you will get to work on some cool primitives like fully homomorphic encryption and zero knowledge proofs.
