19 snips
Dec 4, 2024 Uma Roy, co-founder of Succinct, and Andrew Huang, co-founder of Conduit, dive into their game-changing collaboration, OP Succinct. They discuss how this new zkEVM ensures 1-hour finality, shaking up traditional optimistic rollups with their 7-day delays. The guests explore the implications of Rust-based zkVM technology and its potential to resolve Ethereum's fragmentation issues. Additionally, they highlight the evolving landscape of zero-knowledge rollups and their role in improving blockchain efficiency and scalability.

Episode notes
Simplified ZK-Rollups
- ZK-rollups were previously complex, requiring specialized cryptography experts.
- SP1 simplifies ZK-rollup creation, enabling the use of existing rollup stacks like OP Stack.
Easy Upgrade Path
- Optimistic rollups can upgrade to ZK-rollups relatively easily with SP1.
- This challenges the previous assumption of significant technical debt and lengthy transitions.
Democratized Rollup Security
- ZK technology democratizes rollup security by reducing the need for large bonds.
- This contrasts with optimistic rollups, where substantial bonds are required for security.
