Aleo with Howard Wu

In this episode, we invite Howard Wu back to the show to share more about his new project Aleo - a privacy-focused blockchain that enables fully private applications. Howard's previous ZKPodcast episode, Introduction to zkSNARKs, remains one of our most popular episodes to date! We chat about why you need programming languages for SNARKs, what it is like to switch from VC/Academia to being a founder and the two important things missing in web services, high programmability and true user privacy. The project enables private applications with both data privacy and functional privacy - where the nature of the program running and all activity remains private. It is based on the ZEXE protocol and Proof-of-Succinct-Work, from the Proof-of-Necessary-Work originally presented Joseph Bonneau & Akis Kattis For more info check out these additional links & episodes: Aleo Developer Preview IZexe: Decentralized Private Computation with Pratyush MishraZEXE paperProof-of-Necessary-Work with Akis Kattis (NYU)Thank you to this week’s sponsor Least Authority.
