‘Make sure Ethereum wins’ — Steve Newcomb reveals zkSync’s prime directive

Steve Newcomb is a Silicon Valley veteran with a long list of achievements. He built software for trading energy in the 90s, was a pioneer in adding email to phones, and helped create the back end of the Bing search engine under Peter Thiels mentorship. Today, he heads up development for Berlin-based Matter Labs, which is building scaling solutions for Ethereum.
