Why did DarkFi take so long to build? (Amir Taaki, S15 E71)
Show Notes
In S15 E71 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, Amir Taaki tells the story of the many changes he's made to the DarkFi technology: starting from MimbleWimble, going through Ring Signatures, and then finally finding the right kind of Zero Knowledge proofs. This process took a few years – but DarkFi is scheduled to launch in 2025. If it becomes successful, it can also become a privacy layer for BTC – or even a ZK rollup on top of the Bitcoin base layer.
