Less than one week before the @gitcoin ZK Tech Side round wraps up.
Here is a mega thread 🧵with all of the projects included in this round. 👇
Learn.0xparc.org by @0xPARC - program teaching ~20 researchers and engineers to build zero-knowledge crypto applications and build a set of publicly-consumable open learning resources gitcoin.co/grants/5047/le… (1/21)
ZKxZK - zkSNARK circuits for crypto primitives by @0xZKxZK to implement efficient proof-of-concept ZK circuits
zkApe - Turkish newsletter about #zeroknowledge by @0xzkape, their goal is to increase access to zk by producing content about the technology in the local language.
Decentralised voting - a decentralised private voting system using a PLONK implementation and MPC for key generation @errol73218867 gitcoin.co/grants/4164/de… (9/21)
Otter cash - building cheap and fast zero knowledge tools on Solana. They have already implemented Groth16 @OtterCashHQ gitcoin.co/grants/5013/ot… (10/21)
ZK Travel Scholarships - Stanford Center for Blockchain Research will distribute funds, enabling students to attend blockchain and cryptography conferences @0xPARC
Zk reddit - building a platform where users can post without revealing their identity using ECDSA signature verification circuits @zkredditgitcoin.co/grants/5133/zk… (18/21)
Circom - a programming language and compiler in rust enabling programmers to make their own circuits for zkps @identhreegitcoin.co/grants/4825/ci… (19/21)
Blain Bublitz - building ETH/ZK infrastructure such as the hardhat-circon plugin, contributing to snarkjs and dark forest @BlaineBublitzgitcoin.co/grants/4213/bl… (21/21)
We have prepared a small FAQs thread 🧵about the zkTech @gitcoin side round that is currently active for GR13 with our matching pool of $275K for open source ZK projects.
✏️Why should you fund open source ZK Projects?
📢 ZK tech pushes the industry forward by enabling blockchains to scale and opening the door to private use cases. Open source projects allow all organisations, regardless of their size, to put this tech to work. We all win! (1/n)
✏️What type of projects are you featuring?
📢 The round focuses on ZK tech that improve the ease of use of zk tech, tooling and applications implementing zk. (2/n)
