ANECDOTE

Miguel's Background

Miguel's background spans telecommunications, math (PhD), and AI.
He worked with telcos, did a PhD in math focusing on internet backend modeling, and worked on AI projects.

INSIGHT

ZKPs as Gateway to Web3

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) were Miguel's gateway to Web3.
While initially interested in Web2 applications, he recognized ZKPs' potential in Web3, leading to Nillion's founding.

INSIGHT

Limitations of ZKPs

ZKPs are suitable for transactions but limited for private computations on data.
Technologies like multi-party computation (MPC) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) address this limitation.
