ProgCrypto: Introduction to Zero Knowledge @NUS

​​​​This meetup aims to gather curious folks based in Singapore to learn about Zero Knowledge (ZK) and to create a safe space for them to learn and grow together. This is a precursor to future meetups where we will discuss multi-party computation (MPC) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE). ​

​​​This event suits existing blockchain engineers or researchers, and students who want to get involved in ZK.

​​No prior knowledge of cryptography is assumed, but some general knowledge of blockchains would be helpful.

​​This event is proudly sponsored by the Devcon team as part of the Road to Devcon (RTD) Grants Round.

​​Light refreshment will be provided.

About ProgCryptoSG

​​We believe that programmable cryptography allows us to build a new generation of practical applications on the blockchain.

We hope to:
1) make programmable cryptography welcoming for developers and researchers to get into within Singapore,
2) create an environment where developers and researchers can learn from each other and grow together
3) discuss the latest trends and research
