Cointelegraph is launching Zero Barriersa special six-part podcast series in collaboration with starkware. The series, which appears as part of the Decentralize with Cointelegraph podcast, will explore the evolving world of zero-knowledge rollups (ZK rollups) and the next steps for blockchain technology adoption.
Throughout the series, three different hosts from the Cointelegraph team will be joined by different guests from the StarkWare ecosystem. Zero-knowledge protocols or stacks have become a prominent layer 2 scaling feature in the crypto ecosystem, especially for the Ethereum blockchain.
In the first episode, titled: "How Blockchain Is Taking Over the World," StarkWare CEO and Co-Founder Uri Kolodny sits down with its Chief Architect Eli Ben-Sasson to explore the future of Ethereum and why they believe in it. Blockchain success. technology. The episode is co-hosted by StarkWare's Nathan Jeffay.
ZK technology allows one party to prove the existence of information to another party without revealing the data itself. Multiple scaling solution providers have developed their own ZK-rollup protocols, with StarkWare launching Starknet in November 2021. Starknet is a decentralized validity rollup or ZK rollup, which works as a layer 2 of Ethereum, allowing any application to scale on the network. Starknet recently moved one step closer to become fully compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)pending the August testnet launch of Kakarot, a new zero-knowledge EVM. ZK-rollups increase performance on the Ethereum mainnet by moving compute and state storage off-chain. The technology can process thousands of transactions per second (TPS), greatly improving on the 30 or so TPS handled by the Ethereum mainnet. And it can achieve this without sharing sensitive transaction data, making it an outstanding privacy-focused scaling solution. ZK has become an effective scaling technology, and this podcast series aims to provide insider insights into the ZK ecosystem from developers of the technology.
