Description: Accelerating the Future of Zero-Knowledge Cryptography
Zero-knowledge cryptography is a groundbreaking new technology enabling privacy, interoperability, and scalability for Web 3.0 protocols and applications. Like the DARPA Grand Challenge, select teams will compete for monetary prizes spanning a range of categories. Over $7M in prize money has been committed, along with token grants from sponsoring projects.
All winning submissions will become open-source libraries for the benefit of all. We hope this foundation can support the next generation of decentralized protocols and applications to enable secure, interoperable, and scalable applications for the next-generation web.
ZPrize is an annual competition focused on promoting the use and development of zero-knowledge cryptography. The competition is designed to facilitate public goods funding for this emerging technology and to ensure that the best open-source "baseline" is capable and practical for real-world applications.
