Episode five of Zero Barriers considers the potential use cases and impact of zero-knowledge proofs within Ethereum and the wider cryptocurrency ecosystem. StarkWare business development head Liron Hayman unpacks how their layer-2 technology provides the capacity to scale and bridge the blockchain ecosystem, while Herodotus co-founder Kacper Koziol unpacks how their on-chain accumulator uses storage-proof cryptography to verify data from any point of Ethereum’s blockchain without needing a third party. The solution makes use of StarkWare’s STARK proofs, the ZK-proof technology co-invented by mathematician Eli Ben-Sasson. The episode is hosted by Gareth Jenkinson from Cointelegraph and Nathan Jeffay from StarkWare.
