Privacy and Scaling ExplorationsThe next chapter for zkEVM Community Edition
We are excited to share some updates on our road to building a zkEVM, as we generalize our exploration towards the design and implementation of a general-purpose zkVM. Zero-knowledge research and development in the broader Ethereum ecosystem has been bearing wholesome fruits over the past three years. That came after years of vibrant ideation with an uncompromising approach to security, building on the shoulders of giants of the prover-verifier computational model in computer science and cryp...
Privacy and Scaling ExplorationszkEVM Community Edition Part 3: Logic and Structure
This series intends to provide an overview of the zkEVM Community Edition in a way that is broadly accessible. Part 3 reviews the general logic and structure of the zkEVM Community Edition. Part 1: Introduction Part 2: Components The zkEVM Community Edition has the challenge of creating proofs to validate EVM execution as it is today. To make this feasible, a system of interconnected circuits has been designed to prove the correctness of EVM opcodes while dealing with the inefficiencies of co...

Hey there, curious minds! Are you ready to dive into the world of practical skills and open-source project contributions? Well, buckle up because we're about to embark on an exciting journey through the PSE Core Program!
In today’s digital landscape, privacy and security are paramount. That’s where Zero Knowledge (ZK) technologies come into play. By allowing parties to verify information without revealing any underlying data, ZK protocols offer a revolutionary solution to protect sensitive information in a world where data breaches and privacy violations are all too common.
With ZK protocols, individuals can engage in transactions, authenticate identities, and share information without compromising their privacy. It's a game-changer for industries ranging from finance and healthcare to communications and beyond.
So, what exactly is this program all about? Picture this: you're a student in Latin America or Asia, eager to enhance your skills and make a meaningful impact in the tech world. That's where the PSE Core Program swoops in to save the day. It's like a beacon of opportunity, shining a light on the path towards knowledge and growth.
Let's delve into the workings:
The program works in a Hybrid Learning Model. We blend the flexibility of self-learning with weekly in-person meetups. These sessions are all about sparking discussions, networking, and solving challenges together.
Stage 0 (Preparation): Before we kick off, we've got some prep work for you. Dive into modules that cover program logistics, open-source culture, and essential background knowledge for zero-knowledge technology.
Stage 1 (Weeks 1-5): It's time to roll up your sleeves and dive into zero-knowledge tech. Guided by seasoned mentors, you'll tackle complex topics with hands-on coding and curated study materials. Plus, Week 3 brings a thrilling hackathon for a break from studying.
Stage 2 (Weeks 6-8): Here's where the magic happens. Armed with newfound knowledge and experience, you'll contribute to real-world open-source projects. It's your chance to shine as an open-source developer.
Throughout the program, you'll dive into exciting topics such as:
Cryptography basics: getting started with Circom, hash functions and more
KZG commitments and zkSNARKs
Overview of trusted setups and Groth16
Deep Dive into PLONK
Halo2, FHE, MPC
Explore projects like Sempahore, Bandada, TLSNotary, ZKEmail
But here's the best part: you won't be navigating this journey alone. You'll have mentors, community managers, and more people from the PSE team by your side; plus, weekly in-person meetings where you can network with fellow enthusiasts.
Who knows? You might even meet your future co-founder in one of these sessions.
Throughout the PSE Core Program, participants will dive deep into ZK fundamentals, gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge technologies, and contribute to real-world projects. As the demand for ZK expertise continues to grow, this program presents a unique opportunity for participants to carve out a successful career path in a field with a brilliant future ahead.
