TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Cryptographers Aram Jivanyan and Sarang Noether about their recently published proposal of the Lelantus Spark protocol.

The three discuss the development of the proposal, how it was funded by “privacy coin” project Firo and the benefit of competing cryptos trying to solve similar problems; the benefits it potentially could provide to Monero if adopted, and the general privacy coin space.
