ZK SHANGHAI Zero-Knowledge Proof Workshop Series Enrollment Open
Author: ZK SHANGHAI
The course is based on [MIT IAP 2023] Modern Zero Knowledge Cryptography, and the content generally follows the MIT plan: the topics covered range from the mathematical foundations of modern zero-knowledge protocols (interactive protocols, elliptic curve cryptography, pairing-based cryptography, polynomial commitment schemes, zkSNARKs, etc.) to the practical construction of digital systems and reputation systems, anonymous digital transaction systems, and verifiable computation enabled by ZK primitives (privacy-preserving identities).
This course is a three-month zk co-learning program, which will open Office Hours weekly to answer students' questions; we will occasionally invite industry leaders and technical experts to provide guidance; at the end of the three-month course, a ZK Shanghai Hackathon will be held, and the winners will receive grants provided by sponsors.
Towards the end of the course, students will implement their own "zero-knowledge circuits," which can be integrated into practical applications.
The focus of this course is to cultivate a conceptual understanding of modern zero-knowledge. Since this course aims to investigate the "full-stack" landscape from theory to application, it emphasizes conveying the general big ideas and approaches that appear in modern ZK applications rather than precise mathematical rigor.
Note: The course starts as a series of public lectures, but to ensure teaching quality and the learning experience for students who genuinely want to learn, we have set up a deposit refund plan. Participants are required to pay a deposit according to their participation type, which will be fully refunded upon completion of assignments. Join the ZK Shanghai Workshop, and let’s explore the potential of ZKP together and push the boundaries of cryptography!
