Placeholder: modular IVC over PLONK proof system behind zkLLVM

​Alisa Cherniaeva, Head of Research team at =nil; Foundation, will speak about Placeholder, the modular proof system developed by =nil;.

​Placeholder is designed to achieve maximum performance in constantly changing environments. It’s the base layer behind our zkLLVM circuit compiler and one of the first proof systems implemented in Proof Market.

​Here’s what we’ll cover during the talk:

1. ​Introduction to Placeholder proof system and its modular approach, enabling developers to make zk applications flexible and quickly adapt them to market requirements.

2. ​Implementation case studies: Lido zkOracle and zkGaming. You will learn about the particular project requirements and how Placeholder parameterizes to fulfill these requirements.

3. ​Deep dive into how Placeholder works: how zkLLVM compiles specific cryptography primitives with different parameter values.

4. ​Q&A session on Placeholder with Alisa and other members of the =nil; team.
