SKALE's ZK for the Impatient Episode #2: Arithmetization

Welcome back to ZK for the Impatient with SKALE Labs CTO and Co-Founder, Stan Kladko. In the second part of this five-part miniseries on ZK Proofs, Stan tackles the topic of arithmetization, the idea that every formula or algorithm can be expressed as adding and multiplying numbers. Specifically, we'll focus on PLONK since it's the most widely used and easiest to explain.
