David Seroy works at Alpen Labs: the company which aims to bring an extended suite of financial applications to Bitcoin via ZK (Zero Knowledge) rollups. In this episode, we talk about the ideological divide in Bitcoin between builders & moonbois.

Filip Baturan is the CEO of Tanari – a decentralized finance application suite that's built on top of Citrea. With it, bitcoiners can enjoy the features and user experience from banking applications such as Revolut... but within a self-custodial and sovereign environment, where the user sets the rules. The discussion centers around Tanari's vision to make Bitcoin more useful and replace the current financial system, contrasting it with projects that merely embed Bitcoin into existing structures. Baturan explains that Tanari aims to deliver on Bitcoin's promise of self-custody and financial system replacement, drawing inspiration from the ideal financial system rather than specific products like Revolut. We talk about Tanari's features: including secure Bitcoin storage, spending capabilities, and integration with the Bitcoin ecosystem (Citrea, Bitcoin mainnet, Lightning Network). The platform prioritizes ease of use, employing Face ID/fingerprint authentication and social recovery methods. The interview also covers the potential for financial primitives like lending, borrowing, and Bitcoin-backed stablecoins, all within a transparent framework. The discussion also addresses the challenges of balancing user-friendliness with privacy and security, particularly regarding usernames and potential transaction traceability. Filip Baturan emphasizes Tanari's commitment to open-source principles, sustainable business models, and integration with other Citrea applications. The interview concludes with Filip sharing his background in ZK rollups on Ethereum and his enthusiasm for building on Bitcoin with Citrea, highlighting the unique opportunities presented by this technology. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 00:00:53 - Introducing Filip Baturan 00:02:04 - Tanari's Origin and Citrea 00:05:30 - Ease of Use and Recovery Methods 00:08:20 - Tanari's Features 00:11:04 - Open Sourcing and Fees 00:12:19 - Citrea Integration and Usernames 00:15:24 - On-Chain Interoperability 00:17:19 - Lightning Network Integration 00:19:02 - Business Solutions and Competitive Advantages 00:21:22 - Custody and Decentralization 00:24:48 - Reputation and Social Media Integration 00:29:22 - Filip's Background 00:37:53 - Scalability and Settlement Time 00:41:44 - Trade-offs and Self-Ownership 00:48:00 - Swapping Services 00:51:46 - Future of Bitcoin and Tanari 01:02:10 - Tanari's Name and Meaning

Dans cet épisode explosif de Cryptoast Talks, on reçoit Jérôme de Tichey, président d'Ethereum France, fondateur de Cometh, et pilier de l'écosystème Ethereum. On revient sur les enjeux critiques d'Ethereum en 2025 : baisse des rewards du staking, exode des validateurs, adoption massive des L2, et... une potentielle crise de sécurité économique.

John Light is a researcher who specializes in bringing Zero Knowledge cryptography to supplement Bitcoin's limitations in scalability & privacy. With ZK rollups, Bitcoin stands a better chance to onboard 8 billion people onto trust-minimized layer 2s.

Zac Williamson is the co-founder and CEO of Aztec, a privacy-first Layer 2 solution on Ethereum.  Why you should listen Aztec Network is a privacy-centric Layer 2 (L2) solution built on Ethereum, aiming to enhance user confidentiality and transaction scalability within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging zero-knowledge proofs, specifically zk-SNARKs (Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge), Aztec enables encrypted transactions that maintain the transparency and security inherent to Ethereum. Traditional blockchains like Ethereum operate with full transparency, where all transaction details are publicly accessible. While this openness ensures trustlessness and verifiability, it compromises user privacy, exposing sensitive financial data and potentially deterring broader adoption. Aztec addresses this issue by introducing a privacy layer that conceals transaction details without sacrificing the integrity of the blockchain. A key component of Aztec's technology is its zkRollup architecture, which aggregates multiple transactions into a single proof, thereby enhancing scalability and reducing gas fees. This batching process allows Aztec to offer up to 100 times cost savings compared to standard Ethereum transactions, making private transactions more economically viable. Aztec Connect is a platform that integrates privacy features into existing Ethereum DeFi protocols such as Lido, Curve, and Element Finance. This integration allows users to engage in private staking, lending, and other DeFi activities without exposing their financial data. Developers can utilize Aztec's SDK and bridge contracts to seamlessly incorporate privacy features into their applications, promoting a more secure and user-friendly DeFi ecosystem. Aztec's commitment to privacy extends to its development of Noir, a universal language for zero-knowledge proofs. Noir simplifies the creation of private smart contracts by abstracting complex cryptographic concepts, enabling developers to write code without deep expertise in zero-knowledge technology. This initiative broadens the accessibility of privacy-preserving applications within the blockchain space. The network's vision for a trustless, scalable, and decentralized L2 solution has garnered significant attention and investment. Aztec secured $100 million in a Series B funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), underscoring the industry's recognition of the importance of privacy in blockchain technology. By integrating privacy features directly into Ethereum's infrastructure, Aztec Network empowers users with enhanced security and confidentiality, paving the way for broader adoption of decentralized applications. Its innovative approach ensures that users can transact and interact within the Ethereum ecosystem without compromising their personal data, marking a significant advancement in the evolution of blockchain technology.

Polynomials are quintessential in machine learning for establishing relationships between outputs and inputs. However, there is also a field in cryptography which could not be made possible without polynomials - zero-knowledge technology. In zero-knowledge proof systems, computations are often represented as arithmetic circuits, and these circuits are translated into polynomials. This process is crucial for generating proofs that can demonstrate the correctness of computations without revealing the underlying data. The involved complexity explains the massive adoption hurdle for zk rollups compared to optimistic ones. Succinct aims to simplify the use of zero-knowledge proofs by providing a zkVM (SP1) that allows code written in languages like Rust to be proven in a privacy-preserving way. By doing so, it aims to lower the barrier to implementing zk-rollups and increase their adoption.Topics covered in this episode:Uma's background and her interest in zero knowledge techHow Succinct's story beganZK light clientsZK circuitsSP1 and the RISC-V instruction setThe prover networkUse casesZK rollups and commoditizing ZKPsIncentivizing proversSuccinct's business modelSupported blockchain applicationsBottlenecks in ZK adoptionSuccinct metricsSP1's competitive advantage and future roadmapThe real world impact of verifiabilityEpisode links:Uma Roy on XSuccinct on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

Back in 2014, Eli Ben-Sasson co-authored the Zerocash paper, which proposed a ZK SNARK system that creates anonymous Bitcoin payments. Around the same time, he also spoke about the compression benefits of zero-knowledge proofs – a full Bitcoin node can be synced within seconds just by verifying against a valid proof. More recently, he became interested in STARKs and built a company around this cryptographic breakthrough. If SNARKs require a trusted setup, then STARKs are a major leap towards trust minimization. If Bitcoin activates the OP_CAT soft fork, then this ZK rollup scheme also becomes possible to enable great privacy and low-sized transactions.

In this podcast, we dive deep into the world of Bitcoin scalability solutions with Orkun Kilic, the co-founder and CEO of Chainway Labs, the company behind Citrea - Bitcoin's first zero-knowledge (ZK) rollup. Orkun provides a detailed background on the journey that led to the creation of Citrea, explaining how recent upgrades to Bitcoin's protocol like SegWit, Taproot, and the Ordinals protocol paved the way for new possibilities by enabling arbitrary data storage on the blockchain. This opened up a design space for building scalable layer 2 solutions on top of Bitcoin. The core innovation behind Citrea is the use of ZK proofs and the groundbreaking BitVM (Bitcoin Virtual Machine) primitive to create a trust-minimized bridge between Bitcoin's base layer and the Citrea rollup. Orkun goes into the technical depths of how BitVM works, allowing off-chain virtual machine computations to be proven valid on Bitcoin's blockchain through an interactive fraud proof verification game. Citrea's EVM compatibility and the plan to attract developers by tapping into Bitcoin's trillion-dollar liquidity are covered in-depth. Orkun envisions Citrea becoming a "programmable liquidity layer" enabling DeFi protocols, stablecoins, and innovative decentralized applications while inheriting Bitcoin's security and decentralization. With its comprehensive technical insights and forward-looking perspectives, this episode is for anyone interested in the future of programmable money on Bitcoin.

Zac Williamson is the Co-Founder and CEO of Aztec (https://aztec.network). Backed by Variant, a16z, & more, Aztec is a first-of-its-kind hybrid zkRollup supporting both public and private smart contract execution. In this episode we learn how Zac got into crypto from his past life as an Oxford researcher in particle physics, his perspective on the practical uses of privacy (and the implications for the future of the internet), the limitations of blockchains today (compared to the past), the advice he would impart to his earlier self from his present self, & much, much more.Recorded Tuesday August 8th, 2023.

What started out as Matic Network, in 2017, and later rebranded to Polygon, in 2021, it is now facing another major milestone: Polygon 2.0. Apart from a tokenomics update, their plans include building an aggregation layer for every scaling solution that will settle on Ethereum. This will not only provide crucial rollup interoperability, but it will also further offload Ethereum by recursively combining multiple proofs into a single one.We were joined by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, for a fascinating discussion on Polygon's future revamp, their views on infrastructure decentralisation and interoperability.Topics covered in this episode:Sandeep's background and the vision behind MaticPolygon 2.0ZK rollup vs. ValidiumMulti-purpose shardingTokenomicsStaking decentralisationInteroperabilityThe multi-chain future outlookBlockchain adoption and use casesEpisode links:Sandeep Nailwal on TwitterPolygon on TwitterPolygon Labs on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Meher Roy & Felix Lutsch.

Ethereum scaling solutions often resort to tradeoffs, sacrificing security or decentralisation in favour of scalability. However, zk rollups hold the potential of increasing throughput, while also inheriting the layer 1's security. This is achieved through zero knowledge validity proofs, which are published on Ethereum mainnet. The final hurdle remains the sequencer decentralisation. zkSync was designed around EVM-compatibility, offering custom scaling solutions through its hyperchain architecture.We were joined by Alex Gluchowski, co-founder & CEO of Matter Labs, to discuss the zk rollup landscape, its bottlenecks, and what makes zkSync stand apart as the most popular rollup.Topics covered in this episode:High-level overview of zero knowledge proofsZK rollupszkSync EraZK ecosystem taxonomyRollup performance: bottlenecks & tradeoffsBridging between zkSync hyperchainsData availability.

Nicolas Liochon is the Global Lead for Linea, which is a new zkEVM rollup by Consensys. Rollups play a crucial role in scaling Ethereum as they reduce computational load on the main network by processing transactions off-chain. The two prominent rollups currently available on Ethereum are ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups, and Linea is the latest ZK Rollup to launch. In our conversation, we will explore how Linea sets itself apart in the already highly competitive Ethereum Layer 2 landscape. But first, we will begin our conversation with an introduction to Linea.

zkSync introduces the ZK Stack. Core developers agree to deploy additional EIP-4844 devnets. Safe releases a transaction risk scanner. And Gitcoin releases an impact report. Read more: https://ethdaily.io/664

In order to achieve true transaction privacy, it is not enough to encrypt or build ZK proofs for transaction bundles, as long as the underlying blockchain uses an account-based model. Aztec is building a ZKVM that superposes an UTXO model, so that balances are constantly updated as new, untraceable, log entries. The upcoming Aztec 3 aims to enable privacy-preserving smart contracts, using a hybrid, multi-layered rollup. This approach allows for both public and private smart contracts to be executed simultaneously.We were joined by Zac Williamson & Joe Andrews, to discuss the evolution of Aztec, from ZK Money to their upcoming privacy-preserving hybrid ZK rollup.Topics covered in this episode:The evolution of Aztec, from ZK money to Aztec 3How Aztec's ZKVM ensures privacy for Ethereum transactionsThe need for UTXO model for privacy-preserving encrypted databasesInteracting with public smart contracts in a private mannerTechnical roadmap and challenges faced along the wayHow Aztec differs from Mina protocolRecursive proofsEstimating gasMain-net sequencer decentralisationGoblin PlonkThe future of programmable privacyEpisode links:Zac Williamson on TwitterJoe Andrews on TwitterAztec on TwitterThis episode is hosted by Felix Lutsch.

Marco Cora is the Head of Business Development at Matter Labs (zkSync). In this episode, we talk about the imminent launch of zkSync's zkEVM! This Ethereum L2 will significantly increase the throughput of the Ethereum network, reduce transaction costs, and improve overall efficiency. We talk with Marco about why they believe an EVM-compatible zkRollup-based L2 is better technology for scaling Ethereum long term and why we as users should care. Given the launch of optimistic rollup-based L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism, we were eager to discuss the ongoing process of onboarding DeFi and Web3 teams to zkSync Era, how they will bootstrap liquidity, and if zkSync launches a token, how it will work in decentralizing their L2. Given zkSync is solely run and operated by the zkSync team's servers, it is currently centralized, but this is expected to be transitioned to a decentralized system this year or some time in early 2024. Find out how to get ahead for what is anticipated to be the next biggest L2 launch since Arbitrum!

The manual is designed to enable an audience with only minimal cryptography and programming experience to implement complex, real-world zk-building blocks. Least Authority has also published a whitepaper on Zero Knowledge Access Passes or ZKAPs. This privacy-enhancing technology enables users to access services without revealing personal information to the service provider. They are implementing ZKAPs in PrivateStorage, their soon to be released cloud storage service.
