They discuss the challenge of Proof of Useful Work, the unique properties that SNARKs have, such as puzzle hardness, that allow for PoNW to overcome these challenges, PoS SNARK systems, elastic block construction, and more. \r\n\n\nHere are a few of the articles we mention in the interview: \r\n\nhttps://eprint.iacr.org/2020/190 (Proof of Necessary Work: Succinct State Verification with Fairness Guarantees) \r\n\nhttps://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.06093.pdf (Stabilizing Congestion in Decentralized Record-Keepers )\r\n\n\n\n\nCheck out the https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYWsYz5cKw4wZ9Mpe4kuM_g?view_as=subscriber (Zero Knowledge Youtube Channel) and be sure to subscribe to get the latest videos from the Podcast, zkSummit and zkStudyClub!\r\n\n\n\n\nIf you like what we do: \r\n\nFollow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/zeroknowledgefm (@zeroknowledgefm)\r\n\nJoin us on https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA (Telegram)\r\n\nGive us feedback! https://forms.gle/iKMSrVtcAn6BByH6A (https://forms.gle/iKMSrVtcAn6BByH6A) \r\n\nSupport our https://gitcoin.co/grants/329/zero-knowledge-podcast-2 (Gitcoin Grant)\r\n\nSupport us on the https://www.patreon.com/zeroknowledge (ZKPatreon)\r\n\n\nOr directly here: \r\n\nETH: 0xC0FFEE1B5083230a5154F55f253B6b6ae8F29B1a\r\n\nBTC: 1cafekGa3podM4fBxPSQc6RCEXQNTK8Zz\r\n\nZEC: t1R2bujRF3Hzte9ALHpMJvY8t5kb9ut9SpQ \r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/121a0c33-d763-46d6-8164-2198cae0a805/cover.jpg"}
