    The ZK Fast Track | Andrew & Uma of Conduit & Succinct

    Last month, Andrew Huang (Conduit) and Uma Roy (Succinct) announced OP Succinct, a groundbreaking collaboration that blends Succinct’s SP1 zkVM with Conduit’s Rollup-as-a-Service platform. This new zkEVM promises 1-hour finality, breaking away from the traditional 7-day delays seen with optimistic rollups. In this episode, we unpack what makes OP Succinct a game-changer and how it challenges the conventional ZK rollup landscape. Why is this Rust-based zkVM approach so different? Is ZK rollup tech finally ready for prime time? And could fast finality and the end of fraud proofs be the key to solving Ethereum’s fragmentation problem? ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium   ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🐙KRAKEN | MOST-TRUSTED CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://k.xyz/bankless-pod-q2    ⁠ 🦄UNISWAP | BROWSER EXTENSION https://bankless.cc/uniswap  🐧CARTESI | LINUX-POWERED ROLLUPS https://bankless.cc/CartesiSimple  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle     ⁠  📈iYield: YOUR FINANCIAL PICTURE, SIMPLIFIED https://go.iyield.com/bankless    ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x0c294913a7596b427add7dcbd6d7bbfc7338d53f/106?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 2:52 zk Rollups Past vs. OP Succint  5:48 OP to zk Rollups Tradeoffs & Timeline 12:39 Benefits of 1-Hour Challenge Period  15:34 Scaling the Rollups  18:12 Endgame Vision  20:47 Cost of Proving Must Go Down? 21:55 Conduit’s Distribution Role 25:55 AggLayer vs. zk & Adoption  29:57 zk Rollup on ETH L1 Constraints? 35:53 Ethereum’s Negative Sentiment 51:04  Closing & Disclaimers  ------ RESOURCES Uma Roy https://x.com/pumatheuma  Succinct https://www.succinct.xyz/  OP Succinct https://github.com/succinctlabs/op-succinct  Adrew Huang https://x.com/KAndrewHuang  Conduit https://x.com/conduitxyz  ------ Not financial or tax advice.

    Ethereum’s Three Front War | Justin Drake

    Is the Beam Chain the endgame for Ethereum? At Devcon, Justin Drake presented what he called his most ambitious proposal to date! Beam Chain, a roadmap which fell very flat in public discourse. In this episode we fill the gaps of this reaction and we discuss the rise of Credible Competition to the three major components of Ethereum Roadmap. Execution, which competes with Solana, Data Availability which competes with Celestia and Consensus, which competes with Bitcoin. So what’s Ethereum’s strategy for winning this Three Front War against three legitimate competitors?

    ROLLUP: Memecoin Mania | Tornado Cash Win! | Pro-Crypto Trump Cabinet | Justin Sun & WLFI

    Memecoin mania spiraled out of control this week, with shocking livestream rug pulls and Pump.fun disabling its livestream feature due to disturbing behavior. Meanwhile, Base and Farcaster hit record TPS and inflows as memecoin trading heats up. In Washington, Trump nominated pro-crypto Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. What does this mean for crypto policy? Plus, a surprising investor joins Trump’s World Liberty Financial raise—we’ll reveal who. And a major court victory for crypto privacy: judges ruled OFAC overstepped in the Tornado Cash case, declaring immutable smart contracts unsanctionable.

    ROLLUP: $100k BTC? | Gensler Resignation | Trump’s ‘Crypto Czar’ | Memecoin Rugs

    Bitcoin soared to new all-time highs as MicroStrategy led massive BTC buys, and BlackRock's ETF options hit $1.9B volume. Meanwhile, a 13-year-old executed a rug pull, sparking chaos and meme token wars. On the regulatory front, SEC Chair Gary Gensler announced his resignation effective January 20, 2025, coinciding with President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. Trump teased a "Crypto Czar," while 18 states sued the SEC. Binance launched BFUSD with 19.55% APY, challenging Coinbase’s USDC yield. Elsewhere, Solana reached new highs, McDonald’s partnered with Doodles, and Tether unveiled a tokenization platform.
