In this Compliance Champions episode, Solidus Labs’ Delphine Forma sits down with Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, General Counsel at Starkware, to unpack how zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs and Layer 2 rollups can deliver both scale and privacy—without sacrificing compliance. Katherine traces her journey from white-collar defense at King & Spalding to GC roles across DeFi, centralized markets, and now deep tech, then demystifies L2s and ZK proofs in plain English.

Key themes include: 

• Building Starknet with validity proofs; selective disclosure (e.g., viewer keys) to reconcile privacy with regulatory needs; 
• What’s shifting in the U.S. policy landscape (SEC/CFTC, stablecoin & market-structure efforts); 
• GDPR tensions; and a pragmatic regulatory strategy for infrastructure projects. 
• How TradFi can safely engage with DeFi via programmable risk, on-chain analytics, and compliance-friendly privacy.
