Hello everyone. This is Sid Gandhi from PolyBase. We're just waiting for a couple more people to join here.
Okay, cool. Let's get started. I'll start by introducing the projects and everyone that's going to be in the space today. I'll go over the agenda after that and then we'll jump right in.
So to start, my name is Sid Gandhi. I'm the CEO and co-founder of Polybase. I'm here joined by my CTO and co-founder Kalamur. And then we also have Bob and Threadbare, the project lead for Polygon Miden. And then we have Dominic Schmidt as
as well as a product manager on the PolygonMiden team. Our agenda today is we'll start with an introduction about the projects and what problems we solve. We'll then dive into how Polybase works at a high level, same with
the mind and VM how it works at a high level. And then we'll talk about how polybase uses the mind and VM and then why it's a perfect choice for us to use. And then we'll dive into an additional topic, the mind and roll up and then we'll jump into key
you in a after that and we'll take all your questions. So during the space you can tweet out any questions that you have or any comments that you have, make sure to tag us so we see those and then we'll answer those questions and any other questions that come up during the 10 minutes of Q and A at the end.
Okay, to jump right in. I'll talk about polybase. So polybase is a database that understands wallets tokens and ZK proofs. We call it the database for web 3. Now what those
three things actually end up meaning is that we've integrated auth and permissions based on wallets directly into the database permissions itself. And then based on that, you can do things like token gating at the row level.
On top of that, we build a very high performance and low cost database infrastructure. So it's more efficient than the most efficient L2s. We have the same performance and cost as a traditional database from Web 2, think about like my SQL.
Postgres, Firebase. And then the last thing we do is ZK proves for data and permissions. So that lets us cryptographically prove private data, business logic, and this enables self-salvering data.
For end users of these applications, which allows creating privacy preserving apps. Just a quick note on what developers are building. We've seen people build decentralized social apps that give users web to like speed and scale, but would
data ownership and control. We've seen people build decentralized exchange order books, Dow tooling, collaborative oracles, dynamic NFTs, and much more. So I'll hand it off now to Bobin to introduce the Miden project.
Yes, thank you, Sid. Happy to be here. I'm very excited about this. So, Biden is kind of an L2 solution for a theme that we're building at Polypond. It's one of the solutions that we are or like one of the
components of the existing that were the little polygon, but might not be specifically is one of the components of might and go up or it is a core component I would say and it is a general purpose is EK virtual machine and what it means is that it's kind of like a
your typical virtual machine that is, let's say, EVM is a virtual machine or because I have a virtual machine, but in order days, I have a virtual machine. But because it's a ZK virtual machine, it has like added properties. So one of the crucial properties is that for every program that you can execute on my VM, you get a cryptographic
a start proof that the program was executed correctly. So once you execute something on might be a new tool, you don't need to execute it again. And this in a context of blockchain and you know, crypto in general, like this is a very useful property because once you have somebody proved that they've executed
transaction that they've identified the signature, something like that, everybody else can verify that that was done correctly, exponentially faster than it would have taken to run the original computation. So it's one of the DMs in the space. It's been an exciting space. There are a lot of things that are being developed
