Episode 115: Cosmos, IBC and ZKPs with Chris Goes

In this week’s episode, we catch up with Christopher Goes, (https://twitter.com/cwgoes) IBC Lead at Tendermint (https://twitter.com/tendermint_team). We learn a bit more about the Cosmos Network ecosystem and his work on IBC. We then focus in on how he is thinking about zero knowledge proofs in the context of IBC like-interoperability constructions. We explore some of the ways in which zkps could be incorporated into different schemes for interoperability - including bridging, lightclient constructions, validity proofs and more.
We mention the following episodes on Cosmos:
Light Clients and ZKPs with Celo (https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/93)
Diving into Cosmos with Sunny (https://www.zeroknowledge.fm/78)
