    zkML vs. opML

    For Hackernoon I wrote about the difference between opML and zkML. “In a nutshell, zkML and opML both create a cryptographic certificate that verifies that an ML model A has been queried through a prompt B, they attest the model’s details, like its size and parameters, and can certify that a prompt has been executed.“ Read more

    zkOracles – a Definition

    A zkOracle is a type of blockchain oracle that integrates zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) to securely provide external data to smart contracts without requiring trust in a third party. Read more

    Improving DeFi Security With zkOracles And Zero Knowledge Proofs

    At Dappcon 2023 in Berlin, I presented how Hyper Oracle is enhancing smart contracts by integrating arbitrary compute and internet data, thus facilitating a range of new Oracle use cases within the DeFi ecosystem. I emphasized the shift from traditional staking-based Oracle models to a more robust, decentralized approach using zero knowledge proofs. This approach Read more

    Interview: On the potential of Web3

    WOW Summit interviewed me on the potential of web3. Here’s an excerpt from our conversation: “I think Web3 tooling will become crucial in the age of AI. What I mean with that is that artificially generated content will become indistinguishable from human output. How do my parents know it’s me when I call them and Read more

    Worldcoin’s UBI makes some more equal than others

    I had the pleasure of speaking at W&V, Werben & Verkaufen’s 60-year anniversary about the challenges that AI poses. I took the opportunity to discuss how OpenAI’s founder, Sam Altman, is trying to address two of AI’s major challenges with one blockchain/crypto-based solution: Worldcoin. Worldcoin launched last week. Its price soared by 80%, and the Read more

    Oracle Use in Stable Coins & their Challenges

    Last week during ethcc in Paris Parveena Basheer and Zachary John organized the Oracle Summit. There I got the opportunity to discuss the use of zkOracles in decentralized stable coins and the advantages that zero knowledge proofs can add. In particular how TLS signatures can come in handy when creating proofs of off-chain data. It’s Read more
