Scaling wars aren’t over — ZK just entered the chat.

In this episode, Norbert sits down with Declan Fox (Product Lead at Linea & Consensys) to trace his leap from driverless-car payments to launching the first prover-complete zkEVM. Expect a deep dive into prover completeness and true EVM equivalence, real-time proof generation with 500 M gas-per-second ambitions, multi-prover security, privacy add-ons for enterprise transactions, and how L1 zk-proof enshrinement could unlock sub-second confirmations.

DeFi won. Hackers left. Is there anything worth building anymore?

Cosmos says yes.

In this episode, we sit down with Nico Poggi (CMO of Interchain Labs at Cosmos) to unpack the next era of Web3 infrastructure where modular systems, programmable sovereignty, and IBC Eureka are redefining how chains connect.

xpect to hear a deep dive into why decentralization isn’t enough, what’s still broken in multichain UX, and how Cosmos is quietly building the rails for a more composable future.

In this episode, we go deep with Porter Adams, core contributor at ZKsync and Matter Labs, on why every computation on Earth should be ZK-proven. We explore the evolution of zkVMs, what’s next for real-time proving, and how decentralization is reshaping the ZK proving stack.

From ZKsync’s 2025 roadmap to pathways toward mass adoption, Porter drops exclusive insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Expect sharp takes and a glimpse into the future where proof is the default.

In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Akselrod, a tech writer from Aztec, to talk about privacy, ZK, and beyond. From her journey across the ZK ecosystem, from Taiko to Aztec, Lisa shares where privacy really matters, where it doesn’t, and why programmable privacy is the future. Expect insights into Aztec’s ZK tech, real-world use cases, and co-SNARKs!

In the first episode, we sit down with Soona Amhaz, Founder and Managing Partner of Volt Capital, to talk about what drives crypto venture decisions in 2025. From founder-first investing and the shift away from traditional VC models to frontier areas like robotics, stablecoins, and deep tech — this is an honest look at how crypto VCs think about markets, momentum, and what gets funded.
