Summary
Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. In this 8-episode series, we are exploring some new frontiers. New frontiers in new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running.
This video features two conversations with big-brain builders Daniel Shorr of ZKML and Justin Drake of the Ethereum Foundation. Although cryptography quickly falls down a technical rabbit hole, it looks like we're entering a new golden age of cryptography.
Keep an eye out as we roll out the rest of these boundary-pushing episodes!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Bankless, where we explore the frontier of internet money and internet finance. |
| 0:09.1 | And today, on this episode of Arzuzalo series, we are exploring some new frontiers. |
| 0:12.9 | New frontiers and new technologies, all of which are poised to completely revolutionize |
| 0:16.8 | the world and change everything about the operating system that society is currently running. |
| 0:21.6 | On this episode of Arzuzalo series, we're exploring the frontier of cryptography, which |
| 0:25.6 | is maybe not as new of a frontier as some of the other ones that we've explored yet |
| 0:29.2 | nonetheless. |
| 0:30.2 | The cryptography-enabled future is poised to change the landscape as all the other technologies |
| 0:35.2 | that we've talked about. |
| 0:36.2 | I will say that the ZK week at Zuzalo was one of the weeks that I intended the fewest |
| 0:41.0 | talks and works of ops on, because I mean, come on, what am I going to do there? |
| 0:46.2 | Which is why I pulled in a very familiar friendly face, Justin Drake, to summarize the entire |
| 0:50.4 | ZK week at Zuzalo in a 45 minute episode. |
| 0:53.6 | Comes out, there's this cool new frontier of crypto called Nova, Nova ZK Nova, which |
| 0:59.1 | has to do with folding numbers recursively. |
| 1:03.6 | To make cryptography harder, I don't know how to explain it, but that's what Justin is |
| 1:08.5 | for. |
| 1:09.5 | But first before we get to the familiar territory of Justin Drake, we're going to talk |
| 1:13.0 | to Daniel Short, who's working at a startup in the ZK ML landscape, which has gotten |
| 1:17.8 | a ton of hype and attention lately. |
| 1:20.2 | And if you listen to the interview with Daniel, you'll understand why. |
| 1:23.1 | The thesis is that there's going to be a Cambrian explosion of AI models out there and simply |
