Listen "Can zk-Fold Scale Cardano?"

Episode Synopsis

Explore zkFold, the project set to enhance Cardano's scalability through zero-knowledge smart contracts and zk-rollups. We dissect the project's phased plan, focusing on the zkWrapper phase, which allows developers to create scalable Plutus smart contracts without ZKP expertise. zkFold promises to boost transaction speeds, lower fees, and maintain Cardano's security and composability. We also assess the current state and potential of zk-technologies within the blockchain landscape. Join us for a deep dive into the future of Cardano's scalability solutions.
