ZKProof is an initiative focused on the standardization of Zero-Knowledge Proofs. This community of over 1000 practitioners converges stakeholders from academia, startups, and law enforcement, creating a bridge between theory and practical implementation. This year, we’re preparing for a 3 days event in Berlin.

On the Agenda:

  • Day 1: zkVMs builders will discuss ZKP, Programmability, and Scale

  • Day 2: Standardization and the Verified Verifier – what’s the target scheme to formally verify? Mary Maller will lead PLONK Standards Working groups

  • Day 3: Addressing Vulnerabilities in SNARKs

  • With Keynotes by Alessandro Chiesa (EPFL), Jens Groth (Nexus), Kostas Chalkias (Mysten Labs)

Important Information

Date: May 22-24, 2024

Registration is closed

Location:  DoubleTree by Hilton Berlin
