In this episode of Web3 with Sam Kamani, I chat with Robert Viglione, co-founder of ZK Verify and Horizon Labs, about the transformative power of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology. We explore: What zero-knowledge proofs are and why they matter in a digital, AI-driven world. How ZK Verify solves privacy and trust challenges in DeFi, digital identity, and beyond. Real-world use cases for ZK, including fraud prevention, gaming, and cryptographic verification. Rob's journey from early Bitcoin adopter to building ZK tools for Web3's future. Whether you're a cryptography enthusiast or curious about Web3's next big trend, this is a conversation packed with insights and actionable ideas. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] Introduction: Sam introduces Robert Viglione and the discussion on zero-knowledge proofs and their real-world applications.

"There is behavior by an exchange to use client assets to cover a loan with risky digital investments. Because FTX put itself in a vulnerable position, it opened up for financial warfare where a rival exchange could spot a market dump and crash the collateral value. FTX had credibility in the industry, but cryptocurrency and blockchain technology as a whole still needs oversight," says Robert Viglione. He also states that FTX always portrayed itself as very liquid.

Following an invitation to participate in the ZenCon0 event that takes place in Milan, Italy, we decided to go for a virtual coverage by inviting Horizen's CEO Robert Viglione to talk about the present and future of crypto ecosystems.Rob Viglione is the co-founder and CEO of Horizen Labs and the co-founder and team lead of the Zen Blockchain Foundation.

I discussed Horizen with Robert Viglione who is the co-founder of the blockchain and CEO of Horizen labs. We discussed what Horizen does, what they are planning for the future and various examples of Horizen blockchain use cases. Horizen claims to be the world's most secure interoperable blockchain ecosystem. Their main focus is ensuring data integrity and privacy freedom through the most secure ecosystem of interoperable blockchains.

Wild West Crypto Show interviews Robert Viglione. Original: https://youtu.be/Rk7P8P_80Bo Horizen Sidechain Alpha is the first milestone in achieving our vision of creating an application rich environment that will bring blockchain benefits to life, including privacy and decentralization. Horizen is built from a community with a strong ethos of privacy being a natural right. This new research and development direction is going to allow Horizen to have unbounded design opportunities while paving a more resistant path to achieve data privacy and freedom. Horizen has evolved significantly from its birth as ZenCash in May, 2017. This evolution is accelerating as our technological frontier expands and the environment in which we find ourselves changes. Therefore, along with the release of this milestone of our sidechain solution, we are also excited to re-introduce Horizen with a new whitepaper – A Blockchain Platform for Fully Customizable Decentralized Applications.

We recently released a Game Theory 101 episode in which we provided a general overview of the field and its concepts. But this week we want to let the conversation flow as we looked at how Game Theory actually applies in the world of cryptocurrency and economics. Joining us for this discussion and truly elevating the level of the conversation is Finance PhD and ZenCash co-founder, Robert Viglione. The conversation jumps from voting incentives & security to liquid democracy, decentralization to politics, and ultimately even how to construct new societies from scratch. No lecture today and no class, just coffee and crypto fans nerding out.   LINKS TO TOPICS FROM THE SHOW   CryptoBasic 101 Series: Game Theory   Robert Viglione LinkedIn Twitter ZenCash.Com   JOIN OUR DISCORD HERE HELP SUPPORT THE PODCAST!
