Topics include Lit nodes software, distributed key generation, Lit DAO governance, rollups, and offchain data. They highlight Lit's innovation, secure virtualization, benefits of Lit Protocol nodes, multi-party computation, blockchain in data storage, claimable keys, authentication methods, and innovative applications of technology. The episode concludes with a discussion on hackathons and upcoming events.

Brian Weickmann discusses how ZKP2P uses ZK proofs to convert email signatures into on-chain assets, creating a trustless fiat-to-crypto P2P onramp with fee incentives for depositors. The podcast explores technical onboarding, ZK Snarks in on-chain order books, and future financial integrations in crypto, highlighting the efficiency and security benefits of zero-knowledge proofs.

In this podcast, Kristof Gazso discusses Pimlico's services like Alto bundler, Paymaster transaction sponsorship, and permissionless.js library. They explore ERC-4337 design, recent updates, and seed round fundraising. The conversation also delves into decentralized transactions, gas limits optimization, and the importance of staying updated with developments in the blockchain space.

My guests today are Ulas and Dogan, founder and founding engineer at Clave. Clave is a stablecoin wallet powered by passkeys and zkSync smart accounts. On this episode, Ulas and Dogan dive into the origins of Clave on Optimism, the UX advantages of account abstraction, and Rollup Improvement Proposal 7212, which aims to bring secp256r1 passkey elliptic curve verification to L2s. We also discuss their partnership with ZkSync, and some of the very slick onboarding flows they have to bring new to crypto users onchain. It was fantastic getting to know Ulas and Dogan better. I hope you enjoy the show. This episode is brought to you by ContractReader.io - the best way to read and understand smart contracts on the EVM.

My guests today are Chris Chang and George Datskos, founders of GhostLogs. GhostLogs is a new platform that allows developers to fork contracts on various EVMs, inject their own custom events and view functions, and then interact with them via RPC, Dune Analytics, or Flipside. In this episode, Chris and George explain how their journey doing MEV on Binance Smart Chain and building NFT loan aggregator Snow Genesis led them to build GhostLogs. We also discuss EIP-7571, another potentially compatible approach to moving event logs out of transaction execution. It was great getting to talk to Chris and George about the emerging trend separating events from transaction execution. I hope you enjoy the show.

The podcast delves into the journey of Hilmar Orth, founder of Gelato Network, and the automation of smart contract maintenance. They discuss the allure of DAOs, challenges in DeFi automation, Gelato's role in layer two solutions, and the evolving landscape of blockchain ecosystems. Additionally, they explore on-chain liquidity management, infrastructure reliability, and friction reduction in Gelato Network services.

My guest today is Eito Miyamura, co-creator of ZK Microphone. ZK Microphone is an EthGlobal Paris hackathon project that prototypes generating hardware signed audio recordings, which uniquely link a file of captured audio to the device that recorded it. This application is enabled by hardware security modules, also known as trusted execution environments and secure enclaves. In this conversation, Eito explains how hardware attested recording devices work, and how his team used zero knowledge provable computation techniques to go beyond and enable editors to mutate hardware attested audio files while maintaining a cryptographically provable link to the original recording. It was great getting to know more about Eito, hardware attestation, and the HomeDAO hacker community in Oxford that brought together the ZK Microphone team. I hope you enjoy the show.

My guest today is Ryan Smith, founder of Index Supply. Index Supply is a company dedicated to open source indexing the EVM. Index Supply builds on Ryan's years of experience building backends and indexing services at Heroku, Chain, and Mint.fun, and through consulting with Zora, Reservoir, and more. On this episode we discuss Shovel, Index Supply's open source indexer that transcribes every event emitted in an EVM node to an OLTP postgres database. We discuss the ins-and-outs of indexing, Index Supply's companion Block API, and the company's unconventional approach to funding open source software development for long term sustainability. It was a pleasure catching up with Ryan who is generous with his knowledge and opinionated in his indexing. I hope you enjoy the show.
