ep5 Ingonyama | Making ZKP computation more seamless and democratized
Wen Building
Shownotes Transcript
While we all care about how zk can make our life better, the tools that makes it easier is also crucial. In the past podcast, we talked about proving systems that might evolve a lot, which is something make proof generation more efficient. And we also talked about ZKML from the perspective of application and user cases.
In this podcast, we move from software and algorithms to hardware. How hardware makes all these ZK things more seamless and democratized. We have Omer here in this episode, the co-founder and CEO of Ingonyama. And also, we have a co-host to help dive deep into some questions, Miles, the Chinese Ambassador of Ingonyama.
