​Day 1: zkHouse Learn & Earn
Duration: 9 AM - 9 PM

​Join us for Learn & Earn

​Welcome to Aleo zkHouse, a four-day inclusive and interactive experience for zero-knowledge enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you’re starting with Leo or are well-versed in our programming language, Day 1 is all about elevating your skills. We’ll get you up to speed with Leo so you can develop and deploy ZK apps on Aleo, understand the pivotal Aleo Advantage — and get the chance to win up to $600.

​You can apply what you’ve learned in Day 1 to the rest of the week’s workshops and events.

​Plus: We’re excited to introduce a first-of-its-kind integration with Icebreaker, where the more you participate in our zkHouse activities, the more likely you’ll receive a dynamically integrated NFT. As an early user, you’ll also get onboarded Icebreaker, a decentralized networking platform leveraging zero-knowledge proofs.
