Mastering MPC & Memes with Mikerah

Summary
This week x.com/AnnaRRose chats with Mikerah Quintyne-Collins (x.com/badcryptobitch) from HashCloak (x.com/hashcloak) and Stoffel Labs (x.com/StoffelMPC). They discuss how Mikerah got her start in the crypto space and then dive into the work she did at ChainSafe (chainsafe.io) and eventually at HashCloak. They cover Mikerah’s work on privacy preserving tech like ZK, TEE and MPC and learn about what drives her tweet game and the wisdom she has picked up over the years as a technical founder, driven by curiosity… and memes.
