SNARK Light Clients

Duration: 00:18:17

Speaker: Uma Roy

Type: Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

During this session, we'll go over basic components of Miden VM and describe how we've implemented them using the STARK proving system. We'll also provide a high-level overview of Miden VM features, and compare them against other ZK virtual machines.

Keynote: Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again: Why we need privacy

The Web3 revolution seeks to address the sins of Web2. However, in doing so, it’s created an even worse outcome for users - users’ data is publicly available and makes them vulnerable to state-level censorship and adverse actions. This talk will address the philosophical as well as practical considerations of privacy in Web3. Privacy is an industry-wide issue and sits at the heart of all that is Web3. Understanding why privacy matters involves recognizing that it is not an isolated concept bu

Scaling up Trustless Neural Network Inference with Zero-Knowledge Proofs

We present the first ZK-SNARK proof of valid inference for a full resolution ImageNet model. We will describe the arithmetization and quantization optimizations enabling us to SNARK large neural networks as well as a software package enabling transpilation from off-the-shelf models to halo2 circuits. We design protocols using our circuits to verify machine learning model predictions and accuracy and present concrete estimates of overhead costs based on our circuit implementations. This is joint

Unirep Social - A demo application of Unirep protocol

Unirep is a private reputation system. In this session we will use a social media app called Unirep Social to demo the Unirep protocol.

Using ZKP for better p2p messaging with Waku

In this short demo we'll look at Waku, the communication layer for Web3, and how it uses ZK for its service network. We'll demo using Waku with RLN for private, economic spam protection and what this means for you as a user and node operator. We'll also briefly look at how we can incentivize other services in the network in a private manner. Finally we'll show how you can actively participate in and contribute to the network yourself as a node operator, developer or end user.

Zero-Knowledge Machine Learning

ZKML could be the key to giving the blockchain eyes, letting smart contracts exercise judgment, one-person oracles, and generally getting data on-chain in a scalable way. I'll discuss applications, how to quickly convert PyTorch models to zero-knowledge proofs, and the roadmap.
