S4E17 ZK Chain & An Insiders Guide to Zero-Knowledge w. Ken Timsit (MD, Cronos Labs)

Blockchain Won't Save the World

Many (including myself) are hailing ZK as the technology that will finally enable mass adoption of Web3. But how? And what's missing today that ZK provides?

Ken Timsit is a Web3 veteran and a strong advocate for ZK tech. He is MD of Cronos Labs and its Particle B ecosystem accelerator, and was previously CRO at Consensys.

On this show, we're going to be covering as much as possible on the proposition and benefits of zero-knowledge, and how it is being applied in Web3 today, including:

- An introduction to Cronos

- An overview of the ZK landscape, and how it’s being used today (Roll-ups, data protection, EVMs, L1s vs. L2s) - Important use cases for ZK

- The opportunity for ZK and DeFi to drive further adoption - Challenges and limitations of ZK today

- What more is required for wider adoption of Web3 in general
