Darshan Vaidya a derivatives trader from the UK turned founder of the startup called X-margin. X-Margin is looking to transform the way derivatives are margined and settled, using zero-knowledge technology to disintermediate traditional clearinghouses.

I have personally been fascinated by zero-knowledge technology so we go deep into the weeds of it. On this episode, you will hear about:
1. Darshan's backstory and what got him excited about the cryptocurrency space
2. What problems did he see in the traditional financial trading space? How he aims to solve that using zero-knowledge proof and analytics?
3. What are zero-knowledge proofs, and more importantly X-Margin?
4. What is so hard about building a startup? What role does a team play in getting things done?
5. Looking back, what are somethings he would like to change?
