Welcome to this episode of Buidl Radio, where we dive into the complex world of Zero Knowledge Proofs. Join us as we welcome special guest Toghrul Maharramov to discuss the difficulties of designing ZKEVM, the spectrum of Zk-rollups, other exciting use cases for zero-knowledge, time lock encryption, and much more.
