Our third topic dives deep into a transformative advancement in cryptography and blockchain technology, namely Zero-Knowledge. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are used to enhance the scalability of blockchain systems by allowing complex verifications to be conducted succinctly and efficiently. This series covers the origins, mechanics, and applications of ZKPs, including SNARKs and STARKs, and their role in systems like Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machines (zkVMs). Students will explore how ZKPs contribute to blockchain innovations like interoperability, setting the stage for more secure, efficient, and transparent digital systems. Understanding the principles offered in these lessons is crucial as a baseline for grasping the ZKM project and progressing to the more advanced courses offered in the ZKM education hub.
