Summary
In this episode of the ATX DAO Podcast, we sit down with Lukas Helminger and Lukas Götz from Taceo to explore how they are building a new foundation for privacy in Web3. Taceo is developing infrastructure for verifiable encrypted compute by combining zero-knowledge proofs with multi-party computation. The team introduces coSNARKs, their collaborative proof system, and explains how it can enable secure, private transactions without sacrificing transparency. From stablecoin payments to GDPR-compliant biometric systems like Worldcoin, they share real use cases already in motion.
We also dig into Taceo’s developer tooling, including coNoir, which extends the Noir zk language to support collaborative computation. The conversation covers performance trade-offs, privacy UX, and the need for composable encrypted systems that work across L1s and L2s. Whether you’re into ZK, building privacy-first applications, or just want to understand why programmable cryptography matters, this episode is packed with insight from two of the people pushing the space forward.
