The event will bring together some of the brightest minds in zero knowledge research from both the academic and application spheres. Topics that will be discussed are self-custodial trading, STARKs for Layer 1, STARK-friendly hash functions and other cool things you can do with STARK proofs.\r\n\n\nUse the code Zkpodcast for 20% off the tickets - https://starkware.co/starkware-sessions/ (https://starkware.co/starkware-sessions/)\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 Telegram - https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA (https://t.me/joinchat/B_81tQ57-ThZg8yOSx5gjA)\r\n\nSupport our Gitcoin Grant - https://gitcoin.co/grants/38/zero-knowledge-podcast (https://gitcoin.co/grants/38/zero-knowledge-podcast)\r\n\nSupport us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/zeroknowledge (https://www.patreon.com/zeroknowledge) \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/03f1fe5c-69b0-4d82-a29f-ac49ec8ddf4b/cover.jpg"}
