Channel: Smart Contract Research
Date: 2021-08-05

Join us at https://www.smartcontractresearch.org/t/622 after watching the panel to share your thoughts and experiences on privacy, SNARKS, and PLONK, ask the panelists follow-up questions, and explore the source material.

zkRollups are one of the most promising technologies attempting to improve the scalability, privacy and security of public blockchains. In this panel, SCRF contributors discuss the evolution of this technology, critical design decisions, and challenges with some of the top ZK researchers in this area.

We're joined by:

- Chief Scientist at AZTEC Protocol. PhD Computer Science (Weizmann Institute of Science), research at Columbia and Technion, formerly researcher and engineer at Zcash & Protocol Labs. Creator of AuroraLight & PLONK.

- Aleksandr Vlasov, the head of research and development at Matter Labs. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from McGill University (2018) and a specialist degree in Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics from Moscow State University. Before joining Matter Labs, Vlasov was the chief research scientist at the BANKEX Foundation.

Our panel moderator is Lucas Nuzzi, Lead Research Contributor at SCRF.
