They discuss the various themes in his ZK research and some of the works he has been a part of in the last few years. They explore how Garuda and Pari achieve extremely small SNARK proofs, how Arc facilitates hash-based folding, proximity proofs with FICS and FACS, his work on low-memory SNARKs, and ZK applications outside the blockchain space. Pratyush shares how these ideas intersect with one another, from faster proving to smallest proof sizes to real-world uses. He also touches on his collaborations with other leading cryptographers like Benedikt Bünz and Alessandro Chiesa, and how ZK is finding its place in broader computer science.   Related Links Garuda and Pari: Faster and Smaller SNARKs via Equifficient Polynomial Commitments Arc: Accumulation for Reed--Solomon Codes FICS and FACS: Fast IOPPs and Accumulation via Code-Switching Scribe: Low-memory SNARKs via Read-Write Streaming Coral: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge CFG Proofs Hekaton: Horizontally-Scalable zkSNARKs via Proof Aggregation Query-Optimal IOPPs for Linear-Time Encodable Codes Time-Space Trade-Offs for Sumcheck Blendy: A Time-Space Tradeoff for the Sumcheck Prover Accumulation without Homomorphism vSQL: Verifying Arbitrary SQL Queries over Dynamic Outsourced Databases Succinct Arguments in the Quantum Random Oracle Model Lattices, Folding, & Symphony with Binyi Chen     Aztec is a privacy-first Layer 2 on Ethereum supporting smart contracts with both private and public state and execution.   Details about Aztec’s technology, research, and community programmes are available at aztec.network . &nb…","meta_description":"In this episode, Anna Rose and Nico Mohnblatt catch up with Pratyush Mishra , Assistant Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3723,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/zero-knowledge-1048106/episodes/pratyush-mishra-on-tiny-proofs-folding-low-memory-snarks-and-more/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/zero-knowledge-1048106/pratyush-mishra-on-tiny-proofs-folding-low-memory-snarks-and-more.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
