In this week’s episode, Anna catches up with Anna Caroll and James Prestwich from Nomad. Together they explore the Nomad optimistic interoperability solution, how it first was developed, what lessons it takes from previous attempts at interoperability and cross-chain bridging, how the system works and more.Here are some links for this episode:Ep 118: Tarun and James talk Flash Loans & more | ZK PodcastEp 34: Blockchain 101: What are smart contracts? | ZK PodcastThe Balance Wheel | prestwi.chThe Interoperability Trilemma | medium.comOptimistic Bridges | blog.connext.networkConnext Has Partnered With Nomad | blog.connext.networkNomad | Home@nomad-xyz | Github@prestwich | GithubIf you are looking to jump into ZK professionally, check out the ZK Jobs Board.ZKValidator is looking for a Junior Researcher who is interested in exploring and writing about emerging fields of cryptography like ZKPs, Proof-of-Stake, Bridges, Rollups, MEV, and other cutting edge meta blockchain topics.

The Polygon Hermez zk-rollup is a layer 2 built on top of Ethereum that solves scalability issues through mass transfer processing rolled into a single transaction. ZKPs are used to present and publicly record the validity and correctness of the rolled transfers processed on the Ethereum blockchain. By storing just the proof and the compressed data of a batch of transfers, the efficiency and the throughput of the network is multiplied.Visit polygon.technology to learn more about Polygon Hermez and other Polygon solutions.
