The Block
Eli Ben-Sasson, Zcash co-founder, discussed the necessity of privacy payments and the role of ZK proofs on public blockchains.Summary
Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder of both StarkWare and Zcash, was featured on Episode 7 of The Big Brain Podcast hosted by Larry Cermak and Namik Muduroglu. The discussion centered on the inherent difficulties in guaranteeing integrity for privacy-focused payments on decentralized public blockchains. Ben-Sasson highlighted the critical function of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs in this context, as they allow for the validation of computations without revealing the sensitive underlying information. The episode outline suggests a broad discussion covering the overview of Zcash privacy, comparisons with Monero, future trends in privacy, quantum threats, and the evolution of both Zcash and Starknet.
