Cairo was one of the first kind of VMs of this kind. The trust that can exist between two parties is fundamentally different. And you can use that as a building block to help make systems to scale. It's very simple actually. If someone wants to run a computation, no one can believe that computations were right without running it themselves. As a result, every machine in the network has to run every single transaction. With ZK that that assumption is different.
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.

If you’re a developer looking to get hands-on experience building zero knowledge applications then you should apply for Mina’s zkApp Beta Testers Leaderboard.
Participants will get access to test challenges where you can learn how to build zkApps on Mina for a chance to rank on the leaderboard against other participants. The top participants will have the opportunity to be considered for a grant!
