=nil; Foundation - An Ethereum L2, powered by zkSharding

About this episode

Avi Zurlo is the new CEO at =nil; Foundation building an Ethereum L2 powered by zkSharding. =nil; Foundation is rolling out Testnet v1 for its Ethereum Layer 2 solution, powered by zkSharding. This launch marks a major step on their roadmap after the initial Devnet release in July. With zkSharding, =nil; Foundation's new L2 combines the efficiency of appchains with the cohesive capabilities of a monolithic blockchain, aiming to offer unmatched scalability and interoperability for Ethereum developers.

Why you should listen

In this conversation, Avi Zirlo, CEO of NIL Foundation, discusses his journey in the crypto space, the vision and goals of NIL Foundation, and the significance of ZK sharding in building scalable applications on Ethereum. By enabling zero-knowledge (zk) proofs and sharding, =nil; allows developers to build scalable decentralized applications. Each shard in its architecture processes transactions independently but reports back to a primary shard, which validates and syncs data across Ethereum. This approach promises enhanced transaction efficiency, security, and low costs, making =nil; a robust framework for developing high-performance blockchain applications. Avi shares insights on the current landscape of Ethereum layer 2 solutions, the launch of NIL's testnet, and the focus on developer experience. Avi also provides his perspectives on the Ethereum ecosystem, market trends, and the future of blockchain technology.
