The upcoming ZK event also features a pitch competition with a five-figure prize pool. Early-stage startups are eligible and can apply through the form on the zkDay official website. Organizers expect to showcase at least 10 carefully curated early ZK projects on zkPitch Day.
The schedule for zkPitch Day will be announced before the event begins, and according to the statement, organizers are looking for a variety of teams to join: "Carefully selected projects that demonstrate the highest quality ZK projects are eligible to participate, from those just starting their fundraising journey to those who have recently completed their seed rounds."
The five-figure prize pool for ZK projects at zkDay Paris is provided by multiple sponsors, including platinum sponsors such as Foresight Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on Web3, and Polyhedra Network, a company providing infrastructure for Web3 interoperability.
ZkDay Paris is expected to gather at least 25 community partners and speakers from Manta Network, Foresight Ventures, Polyhedra Network, Figment Capital, Hyper Oracle, and LambdaClass, as well as companies like Aztec and Worldcoin.
Paris ZkDay follows the successful zkDay Denver event—ETHDenver's largest off-site event, with over 3,000 participants. The conference showcased ZK projects at various stages, from those starting their fundraising journey to those who recently completed their seed rounds.
