Circom & Hermez with Jordi Baylina

In this week's episode, Anna and Fredrik catch up with https://twitter.com/jbaylina?lang=en (Jordi Baylina), co-founder of https://iden3.io (Iden3), the creator of Circom and SnarkJS. They chat about his work in the ecosystem, building zk circuits and the recently announced Hermez, a new zkrollup with a novel proof-of-donation mechanism that will redistribute 40% of earnings to Ethereum-based community projects. Jordi has an amazing story, which we got to explore in this episode, so thanks again Jordi for being on the show!

As an engineer at Parity, you would get to write Rust all day, be at the forefront of creating and shaping the decentralized web and hopefully also dig into some cool zero knowledge crypto tech! The best way to get noticed for this role is to familiarise yourself with https://www.parity.io/substrate/ (Substrate) - the platform built by Parity to make building blockchains much much easier. So go check out the substrate libraries and then head over to https://www.parity.io/jobs/ (parity.io/jobs) to find out more Thanks again Parity for sponsoring this episode!
