Co-founders of Offchain Labs, Ed Felten and Steven Goldfeder take us back to 2014, when a classroom idea sparked their vision for scaling before Ethereum even launched.

Learn why they believe interactive fraud proofs provide unparalleled security guarantees compared to ZK-rollups, and dive into how these fraud proofs technically work.

Gain valuable perspective from Felten and Goldfeder on the flaws plaguing zero knowledge proofs and the overly optimistic claims made about their capabilities.

Whether you're a developer evaluating layer 2s or an investor tracking the scaling wars, don't miss these insights from pioneers in the space who've been thinking about these problems longer than almost anyone else.
