How many of you know @vanishree_rao's backstory? Thanks for the write-up @Sexytitan18

Fermah and @vanishree_rao's X accounts were briefly compromised earlier today. We have now regained control and secured these accounts If you received any suspicious DMs from us, please ignore them. Those messages were not from our team Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your understanding Now, let's get back to bringing moon math to the masses!

In this pod, @vanishree_rao goes deeeeep on Fermah, proof markets and privacy Let us know what you think!

Universal Proof Market with Fermah The latest SNARK CHOCOLATE is live! 🍫 We sat down with Vanishree Rao (@vanishree_rao), founder of @fermah_xyz, to explore how Fermah is building a universal proof marketplace designed for speed, cost-efficiency, and real-world ZK adoption. 🧩 The vision behind Fermah: solving ongoing hurdles in proof generation 🧩 What defines a proof market, and why universality across proving systems matters 🧩 How Fermah matches proof requests with machines using tailored mechanism design 🧩 Trade-offs between decentralization and efficiency—and why Fermah prioritizes the latter 🧩 Challenges of client-side proving and how Confidential Proving Delegation (CPD) addresses them 🧩 The tech stack behind CPD, including MPC, CIRCOM, and GPU acceleration via ICICLE 🧩 Fermah’s roadmap: moving from testnet to mainnet and onboarding major rollups 🧩 Thoughts on company-building, working with A16Z’s CSX, and staying lean 🎧 Listen now: 🔽 Spotify (next post) ⤵️ Apple Podcasts (following post)
