Dee, Corey, and Jessie host an insightful interview with Jason Delabay and Dr. Morten Dahl from Zama, focusing on fully homomorphic encryption.Delabay, with a background in web development and crypto, delves into his journey into cryptography after meeting Zama's CEO, exploring the potential of FHE in blockchain technology. Dr. Dahl, with expertise in secure computation, discusses the application of his cryptography background at Zama. The team elaborates on Zama's mission to make FHE easily accessible and scalable for developers, highlighting the difference between FHE and other cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs. They also discuss the challenges and future prospects of integrating FHE into blockchain, aiming to enhance privacy without compromising on trust and security.

In Mattereum Part 2, Vinay Gupta - CEO of Mattereum, discussed the complexities of establishing legal ownership and property rights for physical and digital assets, emphasising the societal and legal constructs surrounding property. He highlighted the work Mattereum does to tokenise real-world assets like gold bars and houses, ensuring that ownership can be legally verified and transferred through NFTs and smart contracts. The conversation also touched on unconventional forms of property like in-game items, which may be owned by companies rather than players, suggesting the need for clarification and potential insurance mechanisms.

Vinay Gupta is a cryptographic applications developer and part of the original Ethereum team. In this episode, he introduces his company Mattereum, which focuses on securitising physical assets on the Ethereum blockchain.Corey, Dee, and Jessie talk to Gupta about Mattereum's goal to provide a scalable and legally-regulated way to conduct transactions involving physical assets, envisioning a system where blockchain functions as a namespace registry, while transactions happen on more efficient and ephemeral layers.

Jessie is showing Corey, Dee, and everyone watching how to build your own node. The computer is based on a parts list similar to a Dappnode and meets the minimum hardware performance requirements necessary to run an Ethereum node. Dappnode is sponsoring this episode and offering a discount code on all Dappnode Home Models. Discount code can be found in the show.

In this episode, Paul Sztorc discusses his vision for drivechains, a concept he believes could advance Bitcoin by allowing for permissionless innovation and competition among developers, leading to a diverse array of L2 applications that work in tandem with Bitcoin's L1. Drivechains would enable large-scale blockchain solutions, enhanced privacy features akin to Zcash, and innovative applications such as decentralised Namecoin and prediction markets without changing the core of Bitcoin. Sztorc emphasises the importance of competition and suggests that drive chains could align miners' incentives with users' desires through transaction fees. He acknowledges there are cultural and political barriers within the Bitcoin community that affect the adoption of new ideas like drivechains, citing the reluctance to implement soft forks and the influence of a "Bitcoin is perfect" mentality as hindrances to innovation. Despite these challenges, Sztorc continues to promote drivechains, advocating for a solution that would allow Bitcoin to scale while maintaining its decentralised and secure foundation.
