Zero-knowledge, Succinct, Non-interactive ARguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs) are powerful cryptographic primitives that allow one party, the prover, to convince another party, the verifier, that a given statement is true without revealing anything else other than the validity of the statement. They have gained widespread attention due to their applications in| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction During the last few months, we have been developing a bridge between Mina and Ethereum. Mina is a layer-1 blockchain that uses zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) to maintain its size at 22 kB. The bridge serves two purposes: 1. Allowing cross-chain transactions seamlessly. 2. Allowing applications to leverage Mina's zero-knowledge| LambdaClass Blog
Introduction When working with cryptographic applications you need to understand some of the underlying math (at least, if you want to do things properly). For example, the RSA cryptographic system (which was one of the earliest methods and most widely adopted, until it lost ground to better methods, such as| LambdaClass Blog
