There is a famous adage by science fiction writer Arthur Clarke which says that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. In Web3, there is probably nothing that speaks to that more than zero knowledge proofs. Recently, that technology gave us the Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine. The zkEVM is billed as the ultimate way to scale blockchains for mass adoption and we are here to help you make sense of this very important topic.

Our guests today are David Schwartz, co-founder of Polygon ID and Polygon Hermez, and Brendan Farmer, co-founder of Polygon Zero.

In this episode we talk through basic concepts, help untangle some of the claims made by projects in this space and talk about the roadmap for Polygon’s own zkEVM.

There is a specter haunting Web3 -- our apps have user interfaces that are often inferior to what people have come to expect on the Internet and the overall user experience can set the bar for entry so high that only determined early adopters make it through.   

UI/UX is a major barrier to Web3 adoption and is the subject of this episode. We discuss what works, what doesn’t and what we at Polygon are doing about it.  

Our guests today are:

Jofo Domingo, a Senior Product Designer at Polygon, who has plied the design trade in a broad variety of contexts from North American Banks to ConsenSys and DAOs based in Asia.

Today we are taking a deep dive into data availability, an important aspect of blockchain scaling. We talk about the data availability problem and what it means for Ethereum’s rollup-centric future and also discuss how Polygon’s own solution - Polygon Avail - can help address it and unlock blockchain experimentation in the process.

Our guests today are Haseeb Qureshi, a Managing Partner at Dragonfly Capital, Anurag Arjun, co-founder of Polygon and Prabal Banerjee, researcher on the Polygon Avail team.

This is a great episode whether you are looking for a primer on data availability or want to bootstrap to an intermediate level of understanding. So let’s jump in!

We are back with another episode on sustainability and today we want to talk about what blockchains can do to help speed up the energy transition, which is the process of replacing fossil fuels with low-carbon energy sources.

Our guest today is Brianna Welsh, co-Founder & Managing Director of Reneum, a green energy DAO on Polygon with a mission to fund renewable energy projects. We discuss traditional carbon markets and on-chain alternatives, carbon credits and renewable energy certificates, even NFTs make a cameo. So let’s jump in.
