Transcript

so yeah welcome everyone to privacy and cosmos this event is going to be focusing on scalability and it's brought to you by zero knowledge validator so we're also working with their knowledge podcast so you will have seen anna she's going to be taking a more active role in our panel discussions and all of these event recordings is going to be available on the xero knowledge podcast youtube site so we'll be sharing the links later but that's where all the videos are going to be and this event series was supported by the cosmos hub so they provided funding to us and this is the third event in that series and we have one more event

which is going to be an in person event which i'll talk about a little bit more in a second so who is zero knowledge validator who are we so we are a mission driven validator and we want to raise the profile of privacy and zero-knowledge technology across the blockchain space generally and specifically on all of the networks that we operate within and to do this we run events such as this because we really believe in invigorating our communities and raising the profile of privacy and we also have direct investments and give grant funding to projects who are using zero knowledge technology and

generally privacy tech as well currently we are active on eight networks so we're active on two chains in the cosmos ecosystem the cosmos hub and osmosis and we're planning to expand that within the cosmos ecosystem and look into more zones outside of the cosmos ecosystem we are operating on six networks cello nina kusama polkadot moon river and near and just a few little announcements for this event so as i briefly mentioned there will be an in-person event and we're planning for this to be at the end

of march and we're thinking of that the location will be in berlin but we'd obviously like to hear your feedback on that so as part of the feedback for the event we have a little giveaway to try and incentivize more people to take part so we'll be giving away 150 worth of atoms to those of you that submit the feedback form at the end of the event another event to look out for is the zk hack mini so hopefully many of you will have actually already been um taking part in the ck hack that was happening last october and november so we're going to do like another little session of that

in march and although this grants round has already passed um in december we've ran a dedicated zero knowledge technology side round during the 12th bitcoin grant session so it was basically a dedicated match funding ground to fund ck projects and specifically focusing on tech and infrastructure so without any more delay um we will get going with the event so the way that this event is going to go is we've had a brief introduction just now from me then we're going to jump straight into two lightning talks the first one's going to be with federico

from ebmos then we'll have dean from agloric then we have two kind of 45 minute blocks which will be a talk followed by a panel discussion on themes relevant to the talk so the first talk will be with deborah talking about the gravity bridge then the panel will all will be about bridging and interoperability then the next section will be a talk with celestia and the panel will be all about data availability and scaling and then that will be the end of the event and we will wrap up
