Episode 233: Through the Wormhole with Jump Crypto

In this week’s episode, Anna (https://twitter.com/annarrose) chats with Rahul Magani (https://twitter.com/rahulmaganti_), the Applied ZK Lead at Jump Crypto (https://twitter.com/jump_), and Hendrik Hofstadt (https://twitter.com/hendrikhofstadt), Project Lead at (Wormhole Crypto)[https://twitter.com/wormholecrypto]. They look at how Wormhole first came to be, the challenges of interoperability, the design decisions they made in balancing security, speed and functionality, the risks facing these types of solutions, including the famous Wormhole hack, what the future holds and how they aim to explore using zk in bridging.

Anoma is a suite of protocols that enable self-sovereign coordination. Their unique architecture facilitates efficiently the simplest forms of economic coordination such as two parties transferring an asset to each other. As well as more sophisticated ones like an asset agnostic bartering system involving multiple parties without direct “coincidence of wants”; or even more complex ones such as “N-party” collective commitments to solve multipolar traps – where any interaction can be performed with adjustable zero-knowledge privacy.
