Why Privacy Is Finally Making A Comeback (...And What Comes Next)

AI Singularity 2030 comes before quantum breaks crypto. Are you ready? Rialo is.

In this episode, we sit down with Jan Camenisch from Rialo and Jens Groth, Chief Scientist at Nexus, to explore the eternal tradeoff between privacy and verifiability.

Jan and Jens break down the real threats facing crypto, why ZKVMs cost 100,000X more than native computation, and how blockchain becomes the only way to secure AI agents.
