What or whose writing or podcasts would you recommend reading / listening?

Hey HN, I recently learnt about Halo 2 and PLONK zero-knowledge circuit design and built a Wordle clone that creates ZK proofs of the grid you share afterwards. This was mostly a f…

That’s a fair criticism - I like to think a blockchain is akin to a shared computer we all have access to (via programs/contracts) which makes it really convenient to use blockchai…

Hey folks, Creator here, thank you for sharing this here - it seems there’s a decent bit of misunderstandings in the comments (particularly around the security model/monetary cost)…

The only work adjacent to this I’m aware of is MetaMask Snaps[1], a plug-in system that allows for arbitrary code execution in wallets. I know some teams in the 0xPARC community[1]…

See 0xPARC’s recent blog post[1] on this topic (in particular, see the section “What can we do with zk-ECDSA?”) [1]: https://0xparc.org/blog/zk-ecdsa-1

Thank you! Those papers are some of the densest ones, so maybe as a starter I would recommend Vitalik’s blog posts on ZK[1]. If folks are interested in a complexity theoretic intro…

> Using a community chest to reward front-runners for submitting claims is clever. Would the ETH reward still need to be at least as large as the transaction cost to incentivize fr…

Hi HN, We (myself, Adhyyan1252 and yush_g) are undergrad students that hacked out this side project last month during Hack Lodge[1] (the ideas and many of the underlying circuits f…

Hi folks, I recently made a small game using Zero-Knowledge proofs that awards players Ethereum NFTs for successfully solving a puzzle. Zero-Knowledge proofs are a pretty new crypt…

It's kind of mind-blowing that the universe allows us to do this at all: Convincingly prove that you have a solution to a puzzle without revealing anything about the solution itsel…

Ah, looks like HN discovered our Introduction sheet was publicly editable and had some fun there: https://github.com/nalinbhardwaj/shiit-coin/issues/2 <3
