Emanuele explains his academic background, the motivation behind his research, and the technical tradeoffs involved in designing more efficient cryptographic proofs. The episode concludes with a broader discussion of future research directions and why advances in proof systems could make Monero transactions smaller, faster, and more scalable over time.TIMESTAMPS:(((((((((((GUEST LINKS:https://x.com/emsczkpPurchase Cafe & tip the farmers w/ XMR! https://gratuitas.org/SPONSORS:Cakewallet.com, the first open-source Monero wallet for iOS.
