great video! 

didn’t verkle tries uses IPA?

interesting! so is this outdated?

Interesting. So Ethereum is using kzg as vector commitment in verkle trees (which we will talk about in next video). But it seems you can also use ipa instead (which I didn’t know about).

my understanding is that ethereum will use IPAs and hence won’t need pairings or a trusted setup

but, yes, you could implement verkle tries with KZG

(from the post I shared above)

You got me investigating. I looked at several repos and they have both ipa and crs in dependencies, but no kzg.
I do remember a ceremony for verkle trees though last year. I guess it went unused or crs is used for sth else. Will digg deeper before next movie.
