Article estimated reading time: 1-2 hours (also can watch a simplified recording on YouTube ). Let me know if it took you less/more time :) Motivation: Why ZK Zero knowledge proofs are a powerful cryptographic primitive , often used for proving pre-images of hashes (see the planet interaction in zkga.me ) or anonymizing transactions (see zcash ). We envision (and will interactively lead you through) an on-chain application that allows an
