MEGATHREAD🧵

Here, you have a recap of all the 23 active grants in the ZK Tech @gitcoin Side Round.

We partnered with @0xPARC, @FigmentDevs, @RiscZero, @BainCapCrypto, @Scroll_ZKP and Factor to make this possible 🖐️

2/n This grant is looking to fund the development of a Dune Dashboard to track the on-chain activity on the @azctecprotocol.

3/n @OtterCashHQ is building open-source cheap zero-knowledge developer tools on Solana. gitcoin.co/grants/5013/ot…

4/n @cabalxyz is a discord bot that allows server owners to gate access to channels using Eth identity (i.e. NFT ownership) while allowing users to maintain their privacy. gitcoin.co/grants/5394/ca…

5/n @circify is a compiler construction kit that makes it easy to build compilers from high-level, stateful languages (like C) to circuits (and other constraint-like representations). It’s like LLVM for circuits!
gitcoin.co/grants/4877/co…

6/n @identhree is seeking to fund Circom, a circuit programming language and a compiler that allows programmers to design and create their own arithmetic circuits for ZK proofs.

7/n @__zkhack__ a multi-week online event happening now!! Through introductory workshops and advanced puzzle solving competitions, the event aims to teach participants how to use zk tools.
gitcoin.co/grants/3595/zk…

8/n @Sin7Y_Labs analyses cutting-edge technologies, including ZK-EVM, Layer2, cross-chain, privacy computing, autonomous payment solutions, etc. They publish reports weekly on HackMD and Medium. gitcoin.co/grants/5351/zk…

9/n @BlaineBublitz builds infrastructure for ETH/ZK application development. He also collaborates closely with the Dark Forest team and other 0xPARC-adjacent projects. gitcoin.co/grants/4213/bl…

10/n @0xPARC ZK Travel Scholarships will fund cryptography graduate students and zero-knowledge researchers who are seeking support to travel to blockchain and cryptography conferences.
gitcoin.co/grants/4965/zk…

11/n @ZeroPoolNetwork is a multi-blockchain dApp that allows sending fully anonymous, cheap, non-custodial transactions. gitcoin.co/grants/172/zer…

12/n @0xzkape, a newsletter in Turkish, looking to increase community access to developments, updates, interesting publications, podcasts about #zeroknowledge technology. gitcoin.co/grants/3372/zk…

13/n @LeastAuthority wants to make zk-SNARKS knowledge accessible to everyone with its MoonMath Manual to zk-SNARKs, designed for an audience with only minimal experience in cryptography and programming.

gitcoin.co/grants/543/the…

14/n @0xZKML goal is to teach readers how to create and use machine learning primitives in a zkSNARK. gitcoin.co/grants/4847/zk…

15/n @0xZKxZK is an open-source effort to implement efficient proof-of-concept ZK circuits for primitives from elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and pairing-based cryptography (PBC). gitcoin.co/grants/4934/zk…

16/n @0xPARC is looking to fund The Applied ZK Learning Group, an educational program that onboards a cohort of solid technical specialists (engineers, researchers, open-source developers, and more) into the applied ZK space. gitcoin.co/grants/5047/le…

17/n @zkREPL an interactive playground where developers both beginners and experts can frictionlessly find and build new and creative systems on top of zk-SNARK technology. gitcoin.co/grants/5121/zk…

18/n @Battlezips is a circom-based L1 (EVM) demonstration of Zero Knowledge for privacy and scalability. gitcoin.co/grants/5397/ba…

19/n @TeamZeroDev is creating an open-source software library and tool kit that can be used by application developers and others. It will support the creation of GPS based proof-of-presence techniques that preserve the privacy of the individual. gitcoin.co/grants/5613/zk…

20/n @cryptograthor runs with Dr. Justin Thaler of Georgetown University the ZK Hack study group. It is a twice-weekly 60-90 minute session for discussing the foundations of ZK tech.
gitcoin.co/grants/6020/th…

21/n @zkreddit is building a platform where users can post as a member of an on-chain group without revealing their identity. gitcoin.co/grants/5133/zk…

22/n @zokratesproject is a toolbox for zkSNARKs on Ethereum.
gitcoin.co/grants/29/zokr…

23/n @heypran proposes developing a zk boilerplate ( called zkblock) to allow developers to focus on developing quality ZK Dapps.
gitcoin.co/grants/4858/zk…

24/n @zeroknowledgefm is a podcast, hosted by @AnnaRRose which goes deep into the tech that will power the emerging Web3 and the community that is building it. gitcoin.co/grants/329/zer…

25/n You can take a look at all the #ZKTech grants here
