Zero-knowledge proofs,
taught properly.
From blockchain fundamentals to your own ZK circuits. No prerequisites.
- 40h — Recorded, self-paced
- 08 — Modules, foundations to production
- 01 — Certificate on completion
You don't need a
cryptography background.
- Where you start
- Module one assumes nothing. The maths arrives when you need it.
- Where you finish
- Your own circuits, and a working ZK application to show for it.
Eight modules.
Foundations to production.
Forty hours, self-paced. Each module builds on the last.
- Module 01
Build strong foundations
Blockchain basics, cryptographic primitives, and the mathematics behind elliptic curves and commitments.
- Module 02
Core ZKP protocols
Interactive proofs like Schnorr and Bulletproofs, and how privacy is achieved without revealing the underlying data.
- Module 03
Modern proof systems
Groth16, PLONK and STARKs, plus recursive frameworks including Halo2, Nova and SuperNova.
- Module 04
Cutting-edge techniques
Lookup arguments, sum-check protocols, and polynomial commitments such as KZG.
- Module 05
ZK in production
ZK-Rollups, ZK-EVMs, ZK-VMs and ZK-Bridges, with case studies from zkSync, StarkNet, Polygon and Succinct Labs.
- Module 06
Tools and DSLs
Write your own circuits using Circom, Halo2, Noir, Leo and ZoKrates.
- Module 07
Privacy-preserving contracts
Build confidential applications on Ethereum using Aztec and comparable ecosystems.
- Module 08
Ship and present
Hands-on project work, concluding with a presentation of a full ZK-based blockchain application.
Taught by someone
who builds it.
