Zero Knowledge Canon, part 1 & 2 - a16z crypto
Editor’s note: a16z crypto has had a long series of the “canons”, from our DAO Canon last year to our NFT Canon earlier (and before that our original Crypto Canon). So below, we’ve now culled a set of resources for those seeking to understand, go deeper, and build with all things zero knowledge: powerful, foundational technologies that hold the keys to blockchain scalability, and which represent the future of privacy-preserving applications — including applications in crypto/web3 — and countless other innovations to come. And these innovations have been a long time coming: Zero-knowledge proof systems were introduced by Shafi Goldwasser, Silvio Micali, and Charles Rackoff in 1985, and had a transformative effect on the field of cryptography; they were recognized by the ACM Turing Award awarded to Goldwasser and Micali in in 2012. Since this work has been decades in the making, especially in moving from theory to practice — we also share, for the first time in our canons series, a part
