Bitcoin Rails | Isabel Foxen DukeHistory of ZKProofs | With Eli Ben SassonThe History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben SassonIn 2013, computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy.Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development.This episode shares Eli’s early discussion...2025-06-101h 02

Web3的加密吗喽web3每日屁事 4月12日大家好，欢迎收听《加密吗喽》。今天是四月十二日，让我们一起来了解下今天Web3发生的事情吧。”基于Arbitrum的衍生品平台Crypto Valley Exchange四月十一日推出"智能清算"协议，通过分析交易资产价格相关性动态调整保证金要求，降低DeFi衍生品交易抵押门槛。首席执行官James Davies表示，该方案能解决当前DeFi需全额抵押的痛点，使链上交易效率比肩传统金融市场。平台已率先在加密期货订单中应用该技术，并计划年内拓展至大宗商品市场。Davies指出，随着现实资产代币化发展，机构投资者需要与TradFi相当的清算效率，这正是DeFi取代传统金融基础设施的关键环节。以太坊开发者正推动网络原生隐私功能，包括加密内存池和默认隐私交易。安全研究员Pascal Caversaccio四月十日发文指出当前以太坊透明性导致资金流向可追踪，建议将隐私作为协议层默认设置。以太坊联合创始人Vitalik Buterin次日回应提出"每个应用独立地址"等方案，认为通过零知识证明等技术可实现默认隐私交易。这一讨论源于二零二二年Tornado Cash被制裁事件，尽管今年三月特朗普政府已解除制裁，但开发者认为依赖第三方混币工具并非长久之计。下个重大升级Pectra未聚焦隐私，而后续Fusaka升级可能纳入相关改进。StarkWare与魏茨曼科学研究所的研究团队近日发布ColliderVM方案，旨在突破比特币脚本限制实现复杂智能合约。该系统通过哈希碰撞机制验证链下计算，相比2023年提出的BitVM方案将计算量降低超一万倍，且无需修改比特币网络共识层。研究团队表示，该技术使基于STARK零知识证明的比特币侧链接近实用阶段，但当前方案仍属"最小化信任"而非完全去信任机制。StarkWare联合创始人Eli Ben-Sasson指出，真正的比特币二层解决方案需具备"比特币级安全性"，而现有方案多依赖签名者信任或经济激励模型。去中心化预言机Chainlink四月十二日宣布成为合成美元稳定币USDe的储备证明验证机构，与Harris & Trotter、Chaos Labs等专业团队共同为Ethena Labs提供透明化验证服务。该合作将实现USDe流通量与链下储备资产的独立验证，验证数据将通过协议"透明度"页面及合作伙伴网站公开。截至三月二十九日审计报告显示，USDe流通量为五十二点四七亿枚，对应三十一点二一亿美元资产托管于Coinbase，另有九点一四亿和九点五九亿美元分别存管于Copper和Ceffu平台。此次合作延续了Chainlink在资产验证领域的应用，此前其技术已被21Shares用于以太坊ETF及跨链封装比特币的储备证明。全球最大资产管理公司贝莱德四月十一日发布二零二五年第一季度财报显示，其数字资产产品实现三十亿美元净流入，占当季总ETF净流入量的百分之二点八。截至三月底，贝莱德数字资产管理规模达五百零三亿美元，占公司十一点六万亿美元总管理规模的百分之零点五。尽管数字资产基础费用仅三千四百万美元（不足长期收入的百分之一），但在比特币ETF市场普遍遭遇赎回的背景下，这一表现凸显投资者对加密ETF的持续兴趣。首席执行官拉里·芬克指出，公司当季实现百分之六的基础费用增长，创二零二一年以来最佳开局。对比之下，灰度等竞争对手同期遭遇约十四亿美元资金外流。总部位于爱尔兰的AB慈善基金会四月十一日正式启动全球运营，并上线全新官网。该基金会由爱尔兰前总理伯蒂·埃亨担任主席，汇聚欧洲五国前政要组成理事会，旨在通过区块链技术构建"可验证的协作善意模型"。其核心机制依托AB DAO提供的区块链基础设施，自动将公链交易Gas费的百分之十五至百分之三十及生态基金投资收益的百分之十五至百分之三十注入慈善资金池，实现链上募资、智能分配与全流程审计。基金会聚焦教育、医疗、环保及人道主义援助领域，目前正组建跨五大洲的全球顾问委员会，以欧盟法律框架为基础推动透明化公益实践。好了，今天的内容就是这些。如果您喜欢我们的节目，别忘了订阅并分享给您的朋友哦！感谢您的收听，我们明天再见2025-04-1205 min

Bitcoin Takeover PodcastS15 E36: Eli Ben-Sasson on STARKs, Rollups & PrivacyBack in 2014, Eli Ben-Sasson co-authored the Zerocash paper, which proposed a ZK SNARK system that creates anonymous Bitcoin payments. Around the same time, he also spoke about the compression benefits of zero-knowledge proofs – a full Bitcoin node can be synced within seconds just by verifying against a valid proof.
More recently, he became interested in STARKs and built a company around this cryptographic breakthrough. If SNARKs require a trusted setup, then STARKs are a major leap towards trust minimization.
If Bitcoin activates the OP_CAT soft fork, then this ZK rollup scheme also becomes possible to enable great privacy and lo...2024-05-231h 06

Zero KnowledgeZK languages with Alex OzdemirIn this week’s episode, Anna has a one-on-one chat with Alex Ozdemir, a PhD student at Stanford researching formal methods, cryptography and distributed systems. Alex’s work is closely tied to the world of generalized computations within zero knowledge systems. He is one of the main developers of CirC, an infrastructure framework for building zero knowledge languages. In their conversation, Alex and Anna take a bird’s eye view of the current landscape of zk languages and libraries. Alex explains the history and current state-of-the-art of circuit-building tools, touching on libraries like Libsnark, Bellman and more compre...2021-03-1759 min
Cryptography FMEpisode 13: Zero-Knowledge STARKs in the Real World!Zero-Knowledge proofs have broadened the realm of use cases for applied cryptography over the past decade, from privacy-enhanced cryptocurrencies to applications in voting, finance, protecting medical data and more. In 2018, Dr. Eli Ben-Sasson and his team introduced ZK-STARKs, a new zero-knowledge construction that functions without trusted setup, thereby broadening what zero-knowledge systems are capable of. We’ll talk about ZK-STARKs and more with Eli in this episode of Cryptography FM.

Zero KnowledgeExploring the Fractal transparent SNARK constructionThis week, we explore the Fractal transparent SNARK construction with its authors Dev Ojha and Nick Spooner - both students of Alessandro Chiesa at UC Berkeley. We explore how Fractal works, how it improves on some of the earlier work on Sonic and Marlin, how it borrows from but differentiates itself from STARKs, as well as what they discovered while working on this paper about recursive SNARKs and what makes that property possible.

Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed TechnologiesEli Ben-Sasson: StarkWare – Productizing zk-STARKs to Provide Blockchain Scalability and PrivacyThis past year, we have witnessed what some are calling a “Cambrian Explosion” in zero-knowledge proof systems. New proof systems based on a variety of cryptographic assumptions are popping up every week. And while zero-knowledge systems are known for their privacy-preserving characteristics, they have proven particularly useful for scaling blockchains through off-chain computations.We're joined by Eli Ben Sasson, Co-founder and Cheif Scientist in the East at Starkware. His company is developing a full proof-stack, which leverages STARKs. Pioneered by Eli, STARKs are zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs, which are succinct, transparent, and post-quantum secure. StarkWare has demonstrated how zkST...2019-10-221h 17

Computational integrity is a property that is required for financial transactions on the Internet. Computational integrity means that the output of a certain computation is correct.
If I deposit money into my bank, my bank sends me a number that represents the new balance in my account. I assume that the number they have sent me is correct. The bank could be lying to me–maybe this bank is not actually trustworthy. But I use a bank with a good reputation. If the bank stole money from its users, it would quickly go out of bu...2019-03-0450 min

Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed TechnologiesZooko Wilcox-O'Hearn: Zcash – An Open Financial System with PrivacyFor Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn, part of the cypherpunk movement since the early 1990s, the vision of a decentralized financial system that has both openness and privacy has existed since long before Bitcoin. After many failed attempts, Bitcoin proved that that vision could be achievable. But Bitcoin also failed to deliver on the privacy features as blockchain analysis allows tracing movements and deanonymizing many users.
Zooko joined us to discuss his project Zcash, a fully anonymous cryptocurrency that is scheduled to launch in July. Through Zcash’s use of ground-breaking Zero Knowledge Proofs (or zkSNARKs) the blockchain will leak...2016-03-151h 06
Epicenter - Learn about Crypto, Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed TechnologiesEli Ben-Sasson: Zero Knowledge ProofsZero Knowledge Proofs are methods of providing cryptographic proofs to another party while keeping some information secret. The simple concept of ZKP offer tantalizing possibilities: Banks could prove solvency without revealing depositors. Governments could prove the fairness of an election without compromising privacy.
Computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson joined us to discuss where blockchains and cryptocurrencies intersect with Zero Knowledge Proofs and related technologies such as zkSNARKs. It offered a fascinating view into what will surely become a core part of blockchain tech in the future.
