Episode Synopsis

With Howard wu, co-founder of Aleo and CEO of Provable​This week, we spoke with Howard Wu, co-founder of Aleo and CEO of Provable, about building the foundations for decentralized privacy-preserving applications. Key takeaways include:​Aleo’s privacy-first Layer 1, designed to enable private smart contracts by default, overcoming the transparency limitations of Ethereum.​Developer tools and ecosystem, including the Leo programming language, SDKs, and privacy-preserving wallets that enable seamless integration of ZK applications.​Trade-offs in building a private blockchain, balancing speed, usability, and compliance while ensuring robust security for users.​ZK for compliance, offering tools like view keys and selective disclosure mechanisms to enable regulatory-friendly privacy solutions.​Applications and ecosystem growth, spanning ZK-powered DeFi (ZeFi), private identity verification, confidential transactions, and even hidden-state gaming.​AI and ZKML, exploring how ZK can enable provable AI agents, decentralized inference, and privacy-preserving machine learning on-chain.​Hybrid consensus design, combining proof-of-work incentives with proof-of-stake for long-term sustainability.Future roadmap, focusing on hardware acceleration for ZK proofs, governance evolution, and expanding privacy solutions beyond blockchain.LinksHoward Wu's Twitter/X: https://x.com/1HowardWuProvable's Twitter/X: https://x.com/ProvableHQAleo's Twitter/X: https://x.com/AleoHQLearn more:https://aleo.org/blog/https://provable.com/bloghttps://aleo.org/grants/YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ingo_zk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GitHub: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://github.com/ingonyama-zk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/ingonyama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ingonyama.com/career⁠⁠⁠⁠
