Lightweight Zero Knowledge Proofs Running on Tezos
What is drawing developers towards building games on Tezos? In this community-voted Session, Drew Taylor from Chain of Insight answers that question with his zero knowledge proof oracle, PoP Machine Glow (PoPMG). He breaks down how the security of Tezos smart contracts and the protocol’s computational limits inspired his team to build their crypto puzzle, Shrodinger’s Cup, on the platform.
TQ Tezos’s Jacob Arluck then joins Drew in a discussion on plans to build mobile graphical games on Tezos and the future of the blockchain gaming industry.

Q: Is PoPMG as secure as zk-SNARKs?
45:25
Q: How do crypto-based games take advantage of blockchain?
49:53
Q: Can puzzles contain some randomness so the solver can't share the answer to their friends?
