The ZK Revolution: Brandon Kase on Scalability, Privacy, and Mina Protocol
In this episode of Just The Metrics Podcast, Brandon Kase, the CEO of o(1) Labs, discusses the potential and importance of Zero-Knowledge (zk) technology in the blockchain space. He dives deep into the utility of zk-proofs for scalability, programmability and maintaining privacy in blockchain transactions. Further, Brandon highlights the vision and ambition of Mina Protocol, the first zk-native blockchain that is leveraging zk-technology for better scalability and privacy. Finally, he touches upon upcoming upgrades on Mina, how o(1) Labs is nurturing an ecosystem for developers, and the potential of using zk-technology for AI in the near future.
