Taking ZK IRL with Cursive

1 hour 20 minutes

This week, Anna and Nico chat with Andrew Lu and Vivek Bhupatiraju from Cursive.

They map out the timeline of their in-person activations and experiments using programmable cryptography, which they have been running since late 2023. By quickly developing small applications and products to test with real users, they have gathered tangible data about these innovations at various live conferences worldwide, including our own flagship events, zkSummit11 and zkSummit12.

They share the challenges and insights gained from these experimental products. Additionally, they share the concepts that inspired their innovations, such as digital pheromones and narrowcasting.
