Episode 93: Light clients & ZKPs with Celo

In this episode, we chat with the Marek Olszewski (https://twitter.com/marekolszewski) & Kobi Gurkan (https://twitter.com/kobigurk) from Celo (https://celo.org/) about their proof-of-stake protocol, their work on making a mobile-ready light client, how zero knowledge proofs can help to make a light client “lighter”, why this would be desirable and what potential such a construction could unlock.
