Proof Day is generously supported by Aori, Lagrange, Galxe, Citrea, Powdr Labs, and Brevis
The event ticketing system, “Proof Pass“, is a community project powered by Nebra UPA and Galxe Identity Protocol.
It uses the Galxe Identity Protocol to enhance in real life event check-ins by generating a unique identity for you. This identity enables ZKP-based attestations, allowing for secure and private check-ins, QR code scans, and more.
More details about Proof Pass are coming soon...
Section 1: Emerging ZK Infra
On Proof Day, we challenge the current state of ZK infrastructure with the following questions:
How can we make ZK more accessible to developers and transform it from seeming like rocket science to a day-to-day technology?
How can we lower the cost of proving and verification?
How can more efficient zkVMs speed up ZKP adoption?
Section 2: AI + ZK
With a significant explosion of LLMs, Proof Day delves deep into the latest advancements and developments in AI. This exploration includes:
Scaling Trust with Cryptography: Leveraging Verifiable Computation when LLMs’ capabilities are growing exponentially
Decentralizing Models: Benefits, processes, and use cases
Verifiable Machine Learning Use Cases: Exploring practical applications
Section 3: ZK-powered Consumer Crypto
How does secure and verifiable decentralized identity empower individual sovereignty and drive mass adoption of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP)?
How can we link ZKP-powered digital identities to the real world through attestation and proof of personhood?
Understand how consumer cryptography and infrastructure can synergize with Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)
Section 4: The Future of Rollups and DeFi
How can RaaS play a crucial role in the crypto industry by democratizing access to scalable rollup technology?
Which killer applications can benefit from diversified rollups and AppChains?
What are the infra needs for next-generation DeFi?
