Listen Later

With Lukas Helminger, CEO and Co-founder & Lukas Gotz, Product lead and Co-founder at Taceo


In this episode, we spoke with Lukas Helminger and Lukas Götz from Taceo about their novel architecture combining MPC and ZK. Main topics we discussed:

    • What co-SNARKs are, and how they enable proof delegation and private shared state
    • Why combining MPC and ZK unlocks confidential compute with verifiability
    • Taceo’s modular stack with Circom, Noir, and support for Groth16, Plonk, and UltraHonk
    • The upcoming co-SNARK network and infrastructure plans, including a marketplace for compute
    • Use cases like ZKML, dark pools, privacy-preserving stablecoins, and private DeFi
    • Performance optimizations and the importance of witness generation
    • How Taceo remains rooted in academia while pushing bleeding-edge research like MPC lookups and collaborative STARKs
    • Perspectives on TEEs and how they complement the co-SNARK model for added trust guarantees
