Loopring CTO Steve Guo and CMO Jay Zhou attended DevCon5 and other Osaka blockchain week events. Besides meeting and learning from the extraordinary Ethereum community, we also shared some DEX and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) developments on our side.

This year, in our opinion, Ethereum 2.0 was the main topic at DevCon. Following that, other prominent topics were Proof of Stake, L2 Scaling, Governance, and Enterprise solutions. Of course, zero-knowledge proofs — and their super powers in privacy preservation and scaling — have been a consistent focus all year long, especially these last few months.

We’ve seen massive interest in zero-knowledge proofs technology from the entire Ethereum community this year.

At DevCon and Off DevCon events, we spoke about how Loopring protocol 3.0 utilizes zkSNARKs as a secure DEX scaling solution.
