Episode notes
Cambridge Workshop Sparked The Series
- Anna attended a PQ workshop in Cambridge after recording a previous episode and discovered a broad push to add ZK and post-quantum across Ethereum's stack.
- That experience motivated the six-part mini-series covering the topic in depth.
Lean Means Minimal Assumptions
- Lean Ethereum minimizes cryptographic assumptions by relying primarily on hash functions.
- This makes the design
