Intro
This two-day technical workshop promises to be informative, educational, practical and fun. Join us and learn how to put zero knowledge proofs into practical use.
This is our 3rd Zero Knowledge Proof developer workshop in London with plans to host many more in the UK and overseas. To keep the level of teaching to a high standard, we will limit this class size to 50 delegates.
Prerequisite: We require all our students to attend both days. To get the most out of this workshop, it’s important for our delegates to have a strong background in software engineering and an interest in blockchain technology. Although a major plus, no prior knowledge or experience with zero knowledge proof is required at this stage. What's important is your passion to learn about ZKP and blockchain technology.

Blockchain and zkSNARKs are supposedly cutting edge, but lets ignore the hype and get down to business... while we will focus on zkSNARKs and verifiable computation, what matters more is how can you use this new technology to do things that we couldn't do before, and what are the inevitable pitfalls that we'll fall into because it's new territory and we're all still thinking the 'old way'.
