The first AMA on the zk channel will be this Thursday, Feb 8, at 17:00 GMT. @zac-aztec of PLONK / Aztec fame will be answering questions. Fun fact, Zac was a particle physicist at CERN before becoming a self-taught cryptographer reply with questions below, Zac will pick the best ones to answer on Thursday ⬇️

What are your thoughts on post quantum-ifying plonkish type proof systems? What seems the most promising path towards constant proof sizes in that direction?

is the future internet going to be less or more private than society today? maybe a measure of this is "fraction of the world's thoughts that are private/semi-private (groupchat, family dinner, etc.) vs. public (fc/x)" in the future

With XMR being delisted from many exchanges and the Tornado court case, it brings privacy protocols back into the spotlight. How do you assess regulatory risk internally when developing a privacy-first protocol?

This one is longer, I had a HIGH LEVEL idea on how to improve proving speeds. It’s simple Assume we have a ZKP scheme with a tunable parameter for the security strength. Where: High security -> Slow Low security -> Fast We can tune the parameter to be faster, and curb the security by measuring proving duration…

For pairing based curve, have you actually gone through the entire construction and pure math behind it? I mostly just treat it like a blackbox that satisfies certain relationships, and move on with my life.

Frames is basically TikTok for devs. We are super bullish around here. Write up on why zk is important: https://warpcast.com/eulerlagrange.eth/0xea60f7 Wanted to know how Aztec thinks about dedicating resources for zk in a specific ecosystem. I say this because this is best achieved with farcaster protocol updates.

How do you feel about the current state of quantum computing research/tech vs what headlines say? My fear is we live in a world where the top science projects have marketing departments.

Are there any EIPs out there that you think will significantly improve the zk cryptography experience on ethereum? (Or any that you're otherwise just excited for?)

Is the launch of the new aztec still planned for march '24? I believe that's what was said when the old one was shut down in march '23.

What privacy features would you like to see getting added to on-chain social apps like farcaster? Can aztec (the network) play a role in this?

With a seemingly infinite number of potential software applications for ZKPs today, there is a finite supply of hardware that can accelerate secure and private computation. Do you see the need for custom chips design that can execute ZKP algos in milliseconds? and how are you factoring the lead time into Aztec roadmap?

A significant amount of stablecoin transfers happen on Tron 🫢. I have a feeling that, despite the beauty of zk/l2s/etc, we (as a community) are spending a lot of resources on shiny tech and not enough on creating a new world financial system. What do you think of it? What do you personally expect from crypto?
