38 - Logan Allen: Zorp, NockChain, A Market For Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Manage episode 453939341 series 3479178
Logan Allen is the CEO of Zorp, an applied research company building NockChain and the Nockstack.
We discuss how NockChain combines proof-of-work with zero-knowledge proofs, creating incentives for proof generation at scale. The conversation covers how zero-knowledge proofs enable state compression for large computations and Zorp's approach to building secure infrastructure for network tribes. We explore practical applications like verifying computations in nuclear reactors and power stations, the economics of zero-knowledge proof markets, and how the Nockstack provides tools for high-security production environments. Nock's minimal instruction set makes it simple enough for one person to understand, forming the foundation for this secure computing infrastructure.
