Join Deepthi Kumar and Izaak Meckler of O(1) Labs as they give an approachable overview of Coda Protocol: a new cryptocurrency that reduces the size of the blockchain from gigabytes down to the size of just a few tweets. They’ll describe the core technical architecture that makes a succinct blockchain possible and explain some of the engineering challenges the team faced while building Coda.
The talks will cover applications of cutting-edge cryptographic techniques such as zk-SNARKs, and some of the novel data structures used to operate a distributed computation marketplace.
People of all backgrounds and genders are welcome to attend.
Agenda:
6:00-6:30 Arrival, snacking, and networking
6:30-6:35 SHE(256)
6:35-6:50 Coda Protocol: Using zk-SNARKs to create a blockless blockchain
6:50-7:10 Break
7:10-7:25 Snarkpool: An incentivized, distributed, parallelized SNARK network
7:25-8:00 Networking
