Zero Knowledge

In this week’s episode, Anna catches up with Jordi Baylina, OG Ethereum contributor and Polygon zkEVM Technical Lead. They cover what Jordi has been working on since he was last on the show in 2021. Back then, zkEVMs were still just an idea. Now that many of these systems have launched, they have a chance to look at how these fit into the general L2 landscape. They cover Jordi’s view on engineering decentralized systems and how these are rolled out, and the recent research from Polygon, including their AggLayer proposal. They wrap up on what inspires him to keep contributing in the space.Here’s some additional links for this episode:Polygon zkEVMEpisode 194: zkEVM with Jordi & David from HermezEpisode 145: Circom & Hermez with Jordi Baylina Episode 304: Exploring FRI, LogUp and using M31 for STARKs with Ulrich HaböckEpisode 303: A Dive into Binius with Ulvetanna Episode 313: Revisiting Hardware with IngonyamaThe next ZK Hack IRL is happening May 17-19 in Kraków, apply to join now at zkkrakow.com Gevul
