This repository is a comprehensive, curated list of resources for learning about Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs). It targets engineers, researchers, and students interested in understanding and applying ZKP technology, offering a structured path from foundational concepts to advanced implementations across blockchain and non-blockchain use cases.

How It Works

The list categorizes resources by ZKP type (SNARKs, STARKs, Bulletproofs), learning stage (general introduction, courses, hands-on tutorials), and application domain (Ethereum, other blockchains, machine learning). It provides links to academic papers, blog posts, video lectures, code implementations, and comparison tables, enabling users to navigate the complex ZKP landscape effectively.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list, not a software package. No installation or execution is required. Resources may link to external tools with their own requirements.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive comparison of SNARKs, STARKs, and Bulletproofs, detailing algorithmic complexity, proof size, verification cost, and trust assumptions.
• In-depth sections on specific ZKP systems like PLONK, Marlin, and FRI-STARKs, including tutorials and implementations.
• Coverage of ZKP applications beyond blockchain, such as Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning (zkML) and zk-email.
• Resources for understanding and participating in trusted setup ceremonies (MPC).

Maintenance & Community

The list is maintained by Matter Labs, a prominent ZKP research and development company. It includes links to relevant social media, podcasts, and initiatives like ZKProof for standardization.

Licensing & Compatibility

The content is provided as a curated list and is not subject to software licensing. Individual linked resources may have their own licenses.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, the quality and up-to-dateness of linked external resources can vary. Some advanced topics or newer systems may have limited resources available.
