#5: We're talking about putting the whole world on chain - With Declan Fox (Audio)

Scaling wars aren’t over — ZK just entered the chat. Linea thinks so. In this episode, Norbert sits down with Declan Fox (Product Lead at Linea & Consensys) to trace his leap from driverless-car payments to launching the first prover-complete zkEVM. Expect a deep dive into prover completeness and true EVM equivalence, real-time proof generation with 500 M gas-per-second ambitions, multi-prover security, privacy add-ons for enterprise transactions, and how L1 zk-proof enshrinement could unlock sub-second confirmations.

#4: The dream scenario for anything in Web3 is to avoid complexity - With Nico Poggi from Interchain Labs (Audio)

DeFi won. Hackers left. Is there anything worth building anymore? Cosmos says yes. In this episode, we sit down with Nico Poggi (CMO of Interchain Labs at Cosmos) to unpack the next era of Web3 infrastructure where modular systems, programmable sovereignty, and IBC Eureka are redefining how chains connect. xpect to hear a deep dive into why decentralization isn’t enough, what’s still broken in multichain UX, and how Cosmos is quietly building the rails for a more composable future.   Nico Poggi on X: @qxnico ZkCloud Host Teemu Päivinen on X: @teemupai

#3: Every single computation on Earth should be ZK proven - With Porter Adams from ZKsync & Matter Labs (Audio)

In this episode, we go deep with Porter Adams, core contributor at ZKsync and Matter Labs, on why every computation on Earth should be ZK-proven. We explore the evolution of zkVMs, what’s next for real-time proving, and how decentralization is reshaping the ZK proving stack. From ZKsync’s 2025 roadmap to pathways toward mass adoption, Porter drops exclusive insights you won’t hear anywhere else. Expect sharp takes and a glimpse into the future where proof is the default.   Porter Adams on X: @portport255 ZkCloud Host Norbert Vadas on X: @NorbertVadas
