Validium with DeversiFi & Starkware

In this episode, we will be exploring StarkWare and DeversiFi’s collaboration - a Layer 2 STARK-powered exchange for Ethereum assets. Guests https://twitter.com/bbrandtom (Tom Brand), product manager at https://twitter.com/StarkWareLtd (Starkware), and https://twitter.com/will_harborne (Will Harborne), co-founder of https://twitter.com/deversifi (DeversiFi), discuss the project, how it works under the hood and give us a glimpse into what they have planned for the future. We also look at how Validium, that is Layer-2 scaling solutions in which the validity of all transactions is enforced using zero-knowledge proofs, while data availability is kept off-chain, differ from other layer 2 scaling solutions like Plasma, Optimistic Rollup and zkRollup, and discuss the axioms used to quantify these differences. Here is some of additional material: https://medium.com/matter-labs/evaluating-ethereum-l2-scaling-solutions-a-comparison-framework-b6b2f410f955?source=collection_home---6------1----------------------- (Matter Labs Blog post defining Validium) https://blog.deversifi.com/introducing-deversifi2-0/ (Deversifi Blog post about the collaboration) https://starkware.co/product/starkex/ (Starkware's STARKEx explained ) At the beginning of the episode, Anna and Will also discussed their joint project https://zkvalidator.com/ (ZKValidator) which works on Cosmos, Polkadot and Kusama.
