The Promise of Bringing ZK Everywhere, Starting with Ethereum

It’s not an exaggeration to say Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs will reshape the way we use blockchains. ZK has long been prophesied to solve many of the lingering issues we are trying to solve in DeFi and Web3. We thought it’s long overdue to do a deep dive with an industry expert so we as onchain investors can be better informed about what the future of onchain applications will look like for users.

Can DeFi and Web3 ever scale to serve billions of users like Web 2? With ZK, yes.

In a new episode of The Edge Podcast, the CEO of Boundless joins us to break down how ZK can dramatically improve Ethereum and other L1 / L2’s scalability, security, and user experience, including making Web3-native privacy and identity finally viable.

We cover the origins of RISC Zero and Boundless, why ZK matters for quantum resilience, how ZK will spread beyond crypto into other industries, and the launch of Boundless Mainnet.

Shiv also gives us an inside look at Signal, a new interoperability layer starting with Ethereum, and the recently launched ZKC token that powers the Boundless open, universal ZK network.
