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.

Succinct's CEO talks about ZK bridge, platform, prover network, and SP1 release. They discuss product connections, evolution, competitive landscape, and future projects. The episode also mentions upcoming zkSummit11 event and Namada blockchain launch.

In this week’s episode, Anna and Tarun speak with Succinct Labs. Guests Uma Roy and John Guibas discuss their interest in ZK, their work with 0xparc and the goals of Succinct Labs - that is to provide proof of consensus through SNARK-based light clients. Acting similar to IBC, but in the Ethereum context, we discuss the challenge of building ZK-based light clients on Ethereum, their first implementation linking Gnosis Chain to Ethereum, and how they imagine interacting with the larger blockchain space.
