Zero Knowledge Year end and end of an era with Anna & Fredrik
This week, Anna and Fredrik do a look back at 2020 and chat about some of their favourite ZKPodcast episodes and themes from this past year. This is also a notable episode, as it will be Fredrik's last as a regular co-host. And so they also take this time to reminisce and look back over 3 years of the Zero Knowledge Podcast and share some thoughts on how the space has developed.
Some of the 2020 episodes discussed:
- ZK & Games: Dark Forest with Brian Gu
- Isogenies with Luca De Feo
- ZKPs in Ethereum with Vitalik Buterin & Justin Drake
- Consensus Algorithms & HotStuff with Ittai Abraham
- Proof of Necessary Work with Akis Kattis (NYU)
