We talk about their longstanding academic work in theoretic and applied cryptography, how StarkWare came to be, the emergence of zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs, some of the differences between these different zero knowledge systems, dive into the specific features of STARKs (!) and what&#39;s coming next in the space. \r\n\n\nFor some background on the topics we cover in this episode, please check out the other episodes in our https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/zkseries (ZK Series)\r\n\n\nHere are a few papers we mentioned in the talk: \r\n\nZero coin: http://zerocoin.org/media/pdf/ZerocoinOakland.pdf (http://zerocoin.org/media/pdf/ZerocoinOakland.pdf)\r\n\nZero cash: http://zerocash-project.org/paper (http://zerocash-project.org/paper)\r\n\n\nFollow Eli on Twitter: https://twitter.com/elibensasson?lang=en (https://twitter.com/elibensasson?lang=en)\r\n\n\nTo find out about our ZK Study Club, join the Zero Knowledge telegram group:  https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA (https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA)\r\n\n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to https://poa.network/ (POA Network) for being our sponsor on this episode.
