Cointelegraph is proud to announce the launch of “Zero Barriers,” a special six-part podcast series created in collaboration with StarkWare. This series will be featured as part of the popular “Decentralize with Cointelegraph” podcast and will delve into the world of zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) and the future of blockchain technology adoption.
Throughout the series, three hosts from the Cointelegraph team will engage in conversations with guests from the StarkWare ecosystem. Zero-knowledge protocols or rollups have gained significant traction as a layer-2 scaling solution in the cryptocurrency industry, particularly for the Ethereum blockchain.
The first episode of the series, titled “How blockchain is taking on the world,” features StarkWare CEO and co-founder Uri Kolodny in conversation with its chief architect Eli Ben-Sasson. Together with Nathan Jeffay from StarkWare, they discuss the potential of Ethereum and their belief in the success of blockchain technology.
Zero-knowledge (ZK) technology enables one party to prove the existence of certain information to another party without revealing the actual data. Numerous scaling solution providers have developed their own ZK-rollup protocols, and StarkWare introduced Starknet in November 2021.

Starknet serves as a decentralized validity rollup or ZK-rollup, operating as an Ethereum layer 2 that allows any application to scale on the network. Recently, Starknet made strides toward achieving full compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), with plans to launch Kakarot, a new zero-knowledge EVM, on the testnet in August.
ZK-rollups significantly enhance the throughput of the Ethereum mainnet by moving computation and state storage off-chain. This technology has the capacity to process thousands of transactions per second (TPS), a substantial improvement compared to the roughly 30 TPS handled by the Ethereum mainnet. Furthermore, ZK-rollups prioritize privacy by not divulging sensitive transaction data, making them an indispensable privacy-focused scaling solution.
As ZK technology continues to emerge as a powerful scaling solution, the “Zero Barriers” podcast series aims to provide exclusive insights into the ZK ecosystem by featuring conversations with the very individuals who are building and advancing this technology. Listeners can tune in to the series on popular podcast platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or any other preferred podcast platform.
