Exploring Tezos & their recent Sapling integration
In this week's episode, Anna interviews three people from the Tezos community: https://twitter.com/JacobArluck (Jacob Arluck) (co-founders https://twitter.com/TQTezos (TQ) ), Marc Beunardeau and Marco Stronati (both from https://twitter.com/LabosNomades (Nomadic Labs)). They chat about the https://twitter.com/tezos (Tezos) origin story, the development of the PoS system, the governance of Tezos, and how they are incorporating zk proofs - and specifically Sapling from Zcash - into their system. Here is some additional info related to the interview: https://blog.nomadic-labs.com/sapling-integration-in-tezos-tech-preview.html (Nomadic blog post about the Sapling integration) https://youtu.be/xjK-27o5WFI (Tezos implementation of Sapling) https://www.wired.com/story/tezos-blockchain-love-story-horror-story/ (Wired article about early Tezos issues) https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1482.pdf (Transparent Polynomial Delegation and Its Applications to Zero Knowledge Proof) Thank you to this week's sponsor - https://www.trailofbits.com/ (Trail of Bits). Trail of Bits has partnered with Johns Hopkins University to supply vulnerability researchers with software that can produce ZK proofs of exploitability. This is part of a larger effort funded by DARPA, called https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/SIEVEProposersDaySlidesv4.pdf (SIEVE), to push forward the state of the art in zero-knowledge proofs.
