Jordi Baylina of Polygon zkEVM | Zero Knowledge, Privacy, Scalability and Building Useful Technology

<p>This is a special episode with someone who has been involved in the Ethereum ecosystem for many years. Jordi, a white hat hacker, has been building common good infrastructure and protecting people on the internet during that time. </p><p>Topics Covered in this episode: </p><p>1. Dapp Node, Giveth, Catalan Independence Movement, and useful technology </p><p>2. Technical implementations and tradeoffs in zero knowledge technology</p><p>3. Staying current in the rapidly evolving blockchain industry </p><p>4.
