This is our first Zero Knowledge Proof developer workshop in London with plans to host many more in the future. To keep the level of teaching to a high standard, we will limit the class size to 40 delegates. We require all our students to attend both days, and there will be plenty of opportunity to attend in future if this class become oversubscribed.
 Pre-requisite: We require all our students to attend both days.
In order for our students to get the most out of this workshop, it’s vitally important for our delegates to have a strong background in software egnineering and a strong interest in blockchain technology. Although a major plus, no prior knowledge or experience with zero knowledge proof is required. What's inportant fo us is your passion to learn about ZKP and blockchain technology.
