Deep dives

Overview of ZK circuits and private execution

The podcast episode discusses the concept of private execution and how it can be achieved using ZK circuits. Private execution involves performing computations on private data without revealing the data itself. ZK circuits allow for the creation of private and public states, where private states can only be accessed privately and public states can be viewed publicly. This distinction provides privacy for sensitive information while still allowing for public verification and transparency.
