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.
