Episode notes
ZKP2P's Origin
- ZKP2P's idea originated at StarkWare Sessions in Tel Aviv from Suchin's frustration with Binance P2P in India.
- The team realized ZK Email's potential for proving off-chain payments, leading to the on-ramp/off-ramp idea.
Team Background
- The ZKP2P team members (Brian, Richard, Suchin, and Alex) were colleagues at Set Protocol before starting ZKP2P.
- They had all become interested in ZK technology around the same time, leading to their exploration and eventual project.
Early ZK Development
- Building with early ZK tooling is similar to building smart contracts in 2017.
- Application developers have to work around tooling limitations and experiment to find what's meaningfully buildable.
