In this chapter, the hosts delve into the topic of Zero Knowledge (ZK) and Identity (ID), specifically focusing on the use of Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to prove actions in one account without tying them to another. They discuss various ID projects like Sismo, ZK login, and ZK email. Additionally, they explore the concept of leveraging reputation on social media as collateral and the challenges surrounding the authentication of views and comments on these platforms.
In this week’s episode, Anna catches up in person with Guillermo, Tarun and Alex Evans for a look back at 2023. They revisit their state of mind back in Jan 2023 and share how the year unfolded and evolved for each of them as well as the ZK space as a whole. They survey the themes, applications and research topics that dominated ZK throughout this year and offer retrospective takes on how the ecosystem has changed.
Hope you enjoy!
We are taking the next week off, but will return with our look forward to 2024 episode in the new year.
