Scaling Ethereum To The Next Level with zkEVM
Show notes
Joining us today for this deeply technical conversation is RiscZero CEO Brian Retford and Justin Drake. RiscZero is attempting to create a zkEVM for Ethereum that will require such low compute requirements that validators could be run on smart watches and mobile phones. Moderated by Justin Drake, we take a look at the implications this tech can have on the future of Ethereum. ----- 🏹 Airdrop Hunter is HERE, join your first HUNT today https://bankless.cc/JoinYourFirstHUNT ------ 📣 SAFE CORE | Smart Wallet Infrastructure https://safe.global/core ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2 🦊METAMASK PORTFOLIO | MANAGE YOUR WEB3 EVERYTHING https://bankless.cc/MetaMask ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🦄UNISWAP | ON-CHAIN MARKETPLACE https://bankless.cc/uniswap 👾STADER LABS | ETHX LIQUID STAKING https://bankless.cc/Stader ----- TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 7:47 Validator On Your Smartwatch 12:16 Bandwith Requirements 15:00 Implications for mainnet scaling 18:57 Is This Our Multi-Core Moment? 21:35 What is RiscZero? 27:57 Why Build a zkEVM? 32:00 TLDR Summary 35:42 The 3 Steps To Snarks 41:40 Performance Unlocks 43:59 How close are we to all this? 51:54 How Secure is This? 57:34 Licensing this Tech 59:59 RiscZero Business Model? 1:03:53 What’s Next on The Roadmap? 1:06:15 Core Values of RiscZero 1:07:54 How Does Ethereum Look in 5 Years? ---------- Resources: The Sci-Fi roadmap to Ethereum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_NXxcGe7Ts Brian: https://twitter.com/BrianRetford Justin: https://twitter.com/drakefjustin ------ Not financial or tax advice.
