Course description

Privacy is one of the most significant concerns in blockchain technology. While blockchain networks provide transparency and security, they also expose transaction data to the public, which can compromise user privacy.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and their advanced implementation, zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge), offer a solution to this dilemma.

This course will guide you through the fundamentals of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, how zk-SNARKs work, their real-world applications, and their critical role in building privacy-preserving blockchain systems.

What will I learn?

  • Gain a clear understanding of Zero-Knowledge Proofs and zk-SNARKs.

Requirements

  • A basic understanding of blockchain fundamentals and cryptography concepts.
  • Familiarity with how transactions work on public blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • No advanced mathematics background is required, as complex concepts will be explained in simple terms.
