This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) chats with Dean Tribble (https://twitter.com/DeanTribble), co-founder and CEO of Agoric. Dean walks us through the landscape of programming languages and Agoric?s philosophy behind building a blockchain that has Hardened JS as its smart contract language. We hear about the two big challenges in using JavaScript in blockchain development, malleability and non-deterministic, and how Agoric addresses these. Dean explains the security implications of many popular blockchain languages and how this led them to build Agoric?s smart contract infrastructure allowing JavaScript functions to run with specific access control ? leaving the money management to the larger framework. We touch on what to expect from the upcoming development phases of Agoric, various bridging partnerships to come, and last but not least ? if, when and how they envision ZK roll-ups getting implemented into the stack.

This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) and Tarun Chitra (https://twitter.com/tarunchitra) chat with Sreeram Kannan (https://twitter.com/sreeramkannan), Associate Professor at University of Washington where he runs the UW Blockchain Lab. In this episode, they look at how information theory and blockchain intersect and map the progression of Bitcoin security. They discuss Sreeram?s early work on P2P mobile networks and how this evolved to work on consensus and fair sequencing. Sreeram takes us through his philosophical reasoning of shifting from genomic research to blockchain research and the two major areas in P2P systems that he focuses on: maximum throughput and low latency.

This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) hosts a special 5-part interview with a roundup of perspectives from ZK Hack. First, she chats with puzzle hackers who share what it was like to solve these real-world cryptography bugs and learn complex concepts in real time. They discuss how they got started learning in this space and the resources and tools that helped them. Next, Anna speaks with the puzzle builders on the challenges of designing and building these novel zk puzzles. They discuss the state of the community and how the community could work together to create learning resources to enable its growth. Last but not least, there is a chat with part of the ZK Hack organizing team on what they thought of the event and what?s to come next! Thanks to our guests this week: * Puzzle hackers - Grjte (https://twitter.com/grjte), William Borgeaud (https://twitter.com/williamborgeaud) and Innokentii Sennovskii (https://github.com/Rumata888) * Joe Bebel (https://twitter.com/joeintheory) and Joshua Fitzgerald (https://twitter.com/joshbfitzgerald) from Anoma (https://anoma.network/) who built 3 puzzles. * Alex Pruden (https://twitter.com/apruden08) and Errol Drummond from Aleo (https://www.aleo.org/) who built 3 puzzles. * Some of the ZK Hack organizing team ?

This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) chats with Bobbin Threadbare (https://twitter.com/bobbinth) about his project Miden, a STARK-based roll-up which was recently purchased by Polygon. We recap the differences between STARKs and SNARKs and the increasingly blurred line between these two proving systems. We then map Bobbin?s journey to Miden VM (https://github.com/maticnetwork/miden) (now Polygon Miden), how it originated from his earlier project Distaff VM and now incorporates the Winterfell prover from his days at Facebook.

They walk through what the JPG team wanted out of this decentralized curation protocol and how to bring in voices that aren't always heard in the traditional art world. They also explore the idea of rethinking the mechanism of curation, indexing and permissionless access in order to bring a crypto native approach to NFT art culture. Lastly, they look at JPG's focus on on-chain records can preserve longterm value of NFTs with an eye on how to bridge the various ecosystems in the future and brainstorm around the idea of ZK NFTs.

This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) and Josh (https://twitter.com/acityinohio) chat with Jill Gunter (https://twitter.com/jillrgunter) (nèe Carlson), a well-known investor and crypto advocate, to dive deep into the eternal dilemma of privacy vs. transparency and how ZKPs can finally give us the tools to be more nuanced about our society?s approach to privacy. Starting from Jill?s background as a bond trader on Wall Street, the conversation quickly shifts into how the need for transparency in the financial system and the ability to root out bad actors clashes with the need to maintain individual privacy. This topic touches aspects such as crypto & DeFi privacy, how regulation may be applied to them, and why ZKPs and their power of selective disclosure can change the paradigm of privacy.

This week, Anna (https://twitter.com/AnnaRRose) chats with Kristy-Leigh Minehan (https://twitter.com/OhGodAGirl), a crypto and mining veteran primarily known for developing the ProgPow hashing algorithm. She offers a unique and in-depth perspective into the world of Proof of Work mining, starting from the early days of Bitcoin and moving into the first Bitcoin ASICs, the Ethereum GPU mining era, all the way to the present day of staking dominance. Some of these stories come from Kristy?s direct involvement in Genesis Mining, Core Scientific, ProgPow and her connection to the Ethereum mining community, which helps shed light on what miners will do after the Merge.
