With Sachin Kumar, co-founder of ZKP2P
- This week, we spoke with Sachin Kumar, co-founder of ZKP2P, about building a fast, trust-minimized, and composable peer-to-peer on-off ramp protocol. Key takeaways include
- The evolution from hackathon project to production, solving the inefficiencies of traditional P2P on-ramping with ZK proofs
- How ZKP2P removes centralized intermediaries, using smart contracts for escrow and ZK proofs for dispute resolution
- Key upgrades in V2, including modular escrow contracts, a shift from ZKEmail to ZKTLS, and improved privacy protections
- Future goals, such as expanding geographical coverage, enabling instant off-ramping, and embedding the protocol into wallets for seamless onboarding
- Decentralization challenges, including improving the proving experience and reducing reliance on trusted attesters.
- Long-term vision, integrating private smart contracts and composability with other ZK-based infrastructure like Aztec.
