ZK Hack Lisbon was a bit of a check-in point because there we could see like what tools existed that people could build with. I kind of want to circle back into research or maybe development. Where are we at with tooling? For example, if we're looking at Noir with Aztec III, they keep adding interesting feature. And we're seeing also a lot of new designs for languages.
In this week’s episode, host Anna Rose and Kobi Gurkan check in on the state of ZK today. They discuss recent ZK applications and tooling as well as developments from the last 6 months. They review new use cases such as ZK for off-chain computations and dive into research breakthroughs, trends, security and much more. Finally, they introduce the concept of zkpod.ai which will be covered fully in next week's episode.

Ever feel like developing zero-knowledge proofs is a daunting task?
The team at RISC Zero is here to remind you that it doesn't have to be that way. Their out-of-the-box tooling allows developers to access the magic of ZKProofs from any chain without needing to learn custom languages or building custom ZK circuits.
Bonsai, RISC Zero’s most anticipated product, is a proving marketplace that enables any protocol or application to leverage fast ZKProofs in languages like Rust, Go, C++.
