HHemanth KR·Jul 17Why do most modern zero knowledge proof systems convert the computations to polynomial equations ?Let's get started : Assume we have a problem with five computations, now to verify these computations, the verifier will have to execute all those 5 computations and compare the computed value with th4 min read·zk-dev-notes.hashnode.dev
JJay Makwana·Aug 3, 2025Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Tornado Cash: A Technical Deep Dive -created for educational purposeImagine you’re at a party and someone claims they know the password to the WiFi. Instead of just telling everyone the password (which would defeat the purpose), they prove they know it by successfully connecting their phone. They’ve proven their know...8 min read·jmakwana01.hashnode.dev
