Welcome to Web 3 with A6 and Z, a show about building the next generation of the internet

from the team at A6 and Z crypto.

This shows for anyone, whether researcher, developer, engineer,

artist, company leader, community manager, entrepreneur, or other builder,

seeking to understand and go deeper on all things crypto and web three.

We're back with all new episodes this coming week,

but I'm sharing yet another hallway style

riff that a bunch of our researchers did,

truring through and defining at a high level

top of mind technical topics such as

BDFs or verifiable delay functions ZK rollups, sonarks and zero knowledge in

general zipping up and down the stack and across themes such as scalability, data availability, and reputation and the creator economy, including discussing applications for NFTs and more.

It's a quick tour through explaining key topics that also sets the stage for the next batch of content from us and podcast episodes as well as our newly launched YouTube channel which you can find and subscribe to at YouTube by

simply searching A6 and Z crypto research. There you'll find videos from

researchers with overviews of VDFs, Zero Knowledge, Snarks, and much, much more that we discuss in this episode and beyond.

But this riff is based on a longer convo that originally took place on Twitter for a live audience on the heels of our research

lab announcement a few months ago and it features all of our current research team

except for one person who couldn't make it last minute then but who will be in

our next podcast episodes. It's moderated initially by

A6 and Z crypto general partner Chris Dixon followed by Ali Yaya. The first voice you'll hear is

head of Research Tim Ruff Gardens Gardens followed by Chris's and then

Jobano, Scott Commoners and then Ali. Again, be sure to subscribe to the new A6 and Z
