Porter Adams from Matter Labs joins Chain Reaction to discuss ZKSync's biggest technical milestone in years: achieving full EVM equivalence. No more custom compilers, no more modified tools - developers can now truly copy-paste their Ethereum code to ZKSync.But that's just the beginning. Porter reveals how major banks like Deutsche Bank and UBS are already experimenting with ZKSync chains, using "providiums" (private validiums) for compliance-friendly blockchain adoption. We explore why institutions are drawn to ZK technology and how billion-dollar wire transfers taking weeks is costing banks massive opportunity costs.As a two-time DEF CON quantum hacking champion, Porter provides unique insights into the quantum computing threat timeline. With NIST saying we have until 2035 to transition to post-quantum cryptography, he breaks down what qubits and error correction mean for blockchain security.Key Topics Covered:Full EVM equivalence on ZKSync - what changed and why it mattersBanking adoption: Deutsche Bank, UBS experimenting with blockchain railsZK proofs vs zero knowledge - why most aren't actually "zero knowledge"Quantum computing timeline and cryptography threats (2035 deadline)ZKSync Era's evolution alongside the broader ZKSync ecosystemReal-time proving and the future of user experienceAccount abstraction and email-based wallet recoveryGuest: Porter Adams, Engineer at Matter Labs (@zksync) Host: Feroz Lakhani, Ankr (@ankr)
