Episode 256. Aired on Nov 30, 2022 See full episode on https://zeroknowledge.fm/256-2/ On this week’s episode, Anna (  / annarrose  ) and Kobi Gurkan (  / kobigurk  ) chat with Dan Boneh (  / danboneh  , Professor of Computer Science at Stanford (https://cs.stanford.edu/) and Director of the Stanford Center for Blockchain Research. They cover an expanse of topics: from how strides have been made within the development of zkEVMs to how trusted set ups could be integrated into the blockchain itself. This episode covers open problems in ZK such as how to generate ZK proofs on large amounts of data such as video and what solutions could be implemented when attempting to run a DAO with a private treasury. --------------- Here are some additional links for this episode: Episode 100: Dan Boneh on the past, present & future of cryptography (https://zeroknowledge.fm/100-2/) Experimenting with Collaborative zk-SNARKs: Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Distributed Secrets by Ozdemir and Boneh (https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/1530) Powers-of-Tau to the People: Decentralizing Setup Ceremonies By Nikolaenko, Ragsdale, Bonneau and Boneh (https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/1592) Using ZK Proofs to Fight Disinformation By Datta and Boneh (  / using-zk-proofs-to-fight-disinformation  ) Checking Computations in Polylogarithmic Time By Babai, Fortnow, Levin and Szegedy (https://lance.fortnow.com/papers/file...)

Introducing Mina’s zkSpark Cohort 0, where developers share tutorials and build zero knowledge apps, or zkApps, and get rewarded. There are a quarter-of-a-million Mina tokens up for grabs for zkSpark Cohort 0 participants. Mina’s zkApps are written in Typescript, so developers can easily get started without learning a custom programming language like other zk protocols. To sign up for zkSpark Cohort 0 head to minaprotocol.com/zkpodcast (https://minaprotocol.com/zkpodcast). Mina will be launching additional zkSpark Cohorts, just visit minaprotocol.com (https://minaprotocol.com/) to check out the best way to get involved. --------------- *If you like what we do:* Find all our links here! @ZeroKnowledge | Linktree (https://linktr.ee/zeroknowledge) Subscribe to our podcast newsletter (https://zeroknowledge.substack.com) Follow us on Twitter @zeroknowledgefm (  / zeroknowledgefm  ) Join us on Telegram (https://zeroknowledge.fm/telegram) Catch us on Youtube (https://zeroknowledge.fm/) Head to the ZK Community Forum (https://community.zeroknowledge.fm/) Support our Gitcoin Grant (https://zeroknowledge.fm/gitcoin-gran...)
