Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning Use Cases
Zero-knowledge — это набор криптографических инструментов, которые позволяют доказать что я знаю некоторый факт, не сообщая вам сам факт. Примерами zk-инструментов являются цифровые подписи (я знаю приватный ключ, могу это доказать, но не сообщу его вам) или хеш-функции (я знаю preimage). За последние пару лет из теоретической области со сложной продвинутой математикой это стало довольно распространённым и доступным большинству программистов универсальным инструментов для построения протоколо...

How Programmable Economy might look like
The picture above shows me paying for educational DAO program with Eth and getting an additional discount based on relevant Soulbounds/VCs I own. How is the metaverse economy different from the real one? By programmability and composability. The effect is enormous: we now have an endless (latent) space for the design of various kinds of tools for bargaining. As an interface for an online game, where you can throw gold coins and things to the seller until they agree. And if you have a positive...

User-Centric Web Thesis
Below is a one-page summary of my work over the last 5 years. An economy requires trust to operate effectively. Trust between countries, banks, companies, people and even two IoT devices or smart contracts. Historically, trust is provided either by the state (healthcare, legal, education systems) or platforms (Uber, Airbnb, Steam, Amazon, Booking). The state is conservative, slow, inefficient. Platforms strive for monopoly, user lock-in, profit maximization. A more efficient alternative is we...

10 Principles of Decentralized Reputation
Decentralized reputation is a necessary component for truly decentralized social institutions. It allows us to programmatically negotiate social trust and reduce transaction costs in the economy. Below is my attempt to define 10 principles of the digital trust system.Subjective. Any reputation is a reflection of social weight and the degree of trust from the verifier to the owner. That is, by definition, subjective for the verifier (a person, a group of people or an algorithm).Reflexive. The ...

Brief Intro to Decentralized Organizations
This article is a set theses and condensed learnings about what decentralized autonomous organizations have involved into as of late 2021. This will be helpful for anyone asking questions “what the hell are DAOs?” and “why do people feel so bullish about DAOs?” DAO is a new organizational form that allows coordination of resources through decentralized credibly neutral mechanisms. DAOs generate public goods similarly to traditional organization such as corporations, NGOs, governments, unions,...
