zkUnderground: Where zero-knowledge minds meet
The Event
Join us for an evening of meaningful conversations and casual networking in the heart of Seoul, co-hosted by Aztec, Boundless by RISC Zero, Radius and Succinct.
This relaxed side event brings together builders, founders, and ecosystem friends during Build Asia for an intimate social experience — with light programming and open conversations around all things ZK. Whether you're deep in the stack or just ZK-curious, come connect with some of the most exciting teams shaping the future of zero-knowledge infrastructure.
Meet the Co-Hosts 🤝
Aztec
Aztec is building the next-generation privacy-first ZK Layer 2 on Ethereum. By combining public and private smart contract execution, Aztec empowers developers to create applications with both confidentiality and composability — enabling a more secure and expressive on-chain experience.
Boundless by RISC Zero
Risc Zero is building a general-purpose zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) that allows developers to build scalable, verifiable applications with familiar tools and languages. Their mission is to bring trustless computing to the mainstream by making ZK accessible and developer-friendly.
Radius
Radius is reshaping the rollup economy by unlocking Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) as a sustainable revenue stream. Secure Block Building (SBB) captures MEV efficiently with searchers, while Lighthouse scales revenue by connecting rollups and searchers across domains. Beyond profit, Radius strengthens the rollup ecosystem, aligning incentives across Ethereum for shared economic success.
Succinct
Succinct dedicated to making zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) accessible to all developers, starting with SP1—the most performant and feature-complete zkVM. SP1 is currently used in production by many top blockchain teams including Polygon, Celestia, Avail and more
The Programming
Coming up shortly!
The Venue
We’re heading underground literally. zk Underground lands at ALVER, a hidden café in the heart of Gangnam with a moody basement space perfect for raw conversations. Known for its vintage interiors and layered, atmospheric energy, ALVER sets the tone for an evening of depth, curiosity, and community around zero knowledge. Come for the conversation, stay for the vibe.
