How and Why to Build a ZK-Based System w/ Jason Morton (ezkl)

Guest: Jason Morton (Twitter: @jasonmorton) Host: Rex (Twitter: @LogarithmicRex) In the realm of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography, where the challenge of building a functional product is immense and even a minor mistake can result in significant consequences, Jason Morton is developing EZKL. EZKL aims to simplify the implementation of ZK cryptography, allowing developers to focus on building applications instead of delving into complex mathematical theories. It achieves this by taking a high-level program description and generating the necessary components for ZK verification. This episode discusses the resurgence of interest in ZK, outlines the workings of EZKL, and explores the broader implications of ZK technology in shaping the future.
