1. Survey existing zkEVM, zkVM, and various ZKP protocols through code and papers.2. Propose new design and optimizations for zkEVM.3. Improve our current protocol using advanced crypto constructions such as new ZKP schemes.4. Keep the engineering team up to date with the latest in ZKP research and make sure they are aligned with research-driven designs.5. Establish collaborations with universities and external researchers to solve open problems.
