Aleo has put together a solid compiler team to build a very ambitious circuit compiler language. The core aim of this endeavor is to allow developers to make use of zero-knowledge proofs in their applications in as simple a manner as possible - it achieves this by minimizing cryptographic knowledge requirements. So how exactly does Leo achieve this, and what do you need to know to get started using it? Let’s find out. First off, let’s briefly remind ourselves what a zero-knowledge proof is. It is some piece of data that proves that we ran a computation correctly; for example, that we used a private key to send an NFT to somebody, or that we have some attribute that allows us to update the state of an app. Furthermore it allows us to keep some data secret if we wish; for example we don’t have to reveal that private key we used to send the NFT. And the proof data is also far smaller than the whole computation, so it will require a lot less storage space (on chain) and be quicker to commu
