Eli Ben-Sasson: Starkware as End-Game ZK Technology, The Pros and Cons of Launching ZK on Ethereum and Optimistic Rollup Concerns
Listen now
Description
Eli Ben-Sasson, Co-founder and President of StarkWare, joins this podcast episode to discuss scaling blockchains like Ethereum with ZK proofs and validity rollups. He provides an in-depth look at how StarkWare is using its Cairo language and ZK-VM to enable scalability, privacy, and computational integrity on Ethereum. Topics covered include: The role of Ethereum and validity rollups in the future ZK landscape Surprises and innovations in ZK proof research Pros and cons of ZK-EVMs vs ZK-VMs for blockchain scaling StarkWare's technology for asserting computational integrity On-chain gaming and other applications uniquely enabled by ZK proofs Decentralizing the sequencer and Starknet's roadmap Elliptic curve risks and the need for quantum-resistant proof systems This episode offers key insights on blockchain scaling and the impact ZK proofs will have on Ethereum and Web3 development. It's essential listening for anyone interested in the technical side of Ethereum and ZK proof adoption.
