Archaeological Risc0, an excellent entrepreneur, always has foresight. He can see markets that others have not seen. Brian Retford, the first CEO of Risc0, was such an entrepreneur. Filled with creativity, although he has stepped down, it cannot conceal his vision and brilliance. Archaeology aims to see how a sharp entrepreneur thought a few years ago, and how the market approaches his thinking today. Now they have successfully launched @ boundless_xyz, a decentralized proof market. Vision for Technology and Market Opportunities: -Crypto was the first to combine RISC-V+ZK, and many teams followed suit and imitated it later -As early as 2022, the (decentralized) cloud proof market was defined. During the interview, he mentioned cloud 2.0 proof cloud. Now, whether it is Succinct, which has already been TGE, they have provided reference and inspiration for the opportunities and technologies in his (decentralized) cloud proof market. -Not only do they have foresight in technology, but they also have a profound insight into market opportunities He worked at Microsoft for many years before starting his own business, -Unium (formerly known as SkyPilot Networks or similar, founded around 2003): Co founder. The company focuses on decentralized wireless mesh networks (using the 802.11 standard). The company was ultimately acquired by Nokia (the acquisition occurred after their departure). -Vertex.AI (approximately 2016-2018): Co founder and CTO. The company is developing a Tensor compiler to accelerate AI workflows, especially on custom chips. The company was acquired by Intel. Below is his previous podcast interview, which I have uploaded to my subtack for better reading. In depth interpretation in the podcast: -Why choose RISC-v as the instruction set for zkvm -Why did Risc0 use the STARK zk algorithm invented by Starknet @ Starknet -And his understanding of the trends in zk hardware acceleration and zk dedicated chips. I have written a brief introduction to the direction of zk dedicated chips before, and Cysic @ cysic_xyz works in this direction -Zk proved the idea of the cloud market (his idea was called Cloud 2.0 at the time) https://zkvc.
