Today's guest is Jordi Baylina, who leads the technical team building the Polygon zkEVM. The polygon zkEVM launches in late march, and this episode will serve as your technical introduction to how the zkEVM works.
We got deep into how Jordi & the team pulled this off - we talked through how the prover & sequencer works, stepped through a sample transaction step by step, and got into just how his team was able to pull off opcode parity w Ethereum L1 (and some of the tradeoffs with supporting full EVM compatibility).
If you’re interested in deploying atop the zkEVM or just understanding how it works from a technical point of view, I think you’ll enjoy this episode!

Today’s guest is DC Builder - a pseudonymous dev who works as an engineer at Worldcoin and maintains DevPill.me - a guide to becoming a web3 engineer.
DC Builder has contributed quite a bit of open source content & research to the space as well. He’s written things like deep dive guides on L2s and he also created the zero knowledge machine learning community.
In this episode, we got deep into the weeds on ZK ML (a fascinating topic I knew nothing about before this convo), becoming a web3 dev, and how to decide which communities and ecosystems to invest time into.This is a great episode for engineers looking to level up in the industry, and for anyone curious about ZK ML.

Today’s guest is Henri from StarkWare. Henri is a dev advocate who is deeply plugged into the StarkNet ecosystem and also hosts the StarkNet team’s podcast. This episode is meant to be a great introduction into building on StarkNet for existing web3 devs.
We went very deep into all things StarkNet and Cairo.
We discussed things like the StarkNet account model & runtime environment, the evolution of Cairo & Cairo 1.0, and the future of applications that might use StarkNet for privacy preserving applications (rather than using the ZK rollup for scalability alone).
We also made sure to talk through the mental models that devs coming from the EVM need to understand in order to build on starknet, and why the team built their own separate language in the first place.

We discussed his early learning process, and his journey doing things like launching a DEX, getting into MEV, and ultimately building cutting edge tooling like bytecode & calldata decoders. If you’re interested in some nuanced takes on MEV, understanding the EVM under the hood, and how you can dramatically increase your own rate of learning in the industry, this episode is for you.
