A workshop for beginners explaining the essential maths needed to understand zero knowledge proofs
I will run an interactive workshop explaining the maths needed for zero knowledge proof creation and verification. It will cover - Background cryptography / number theory - Polynomial theory - Polynomial Commitment Schemes - An overview of zero knowledge systems and the optimisations used with them.
After a career in TradFi in 2015 I moved full time to blockchain work. I am the CEO of Extropy a blockchain / cryptography consultancy based in Oxford
Much of my work now is teaching bootcamps about Zero Knowledge Proofs, zkML, Advanced Solidity and Solana.
I am a co founder of the Oxford Blockchain Society and run meetup groups for Ethereum and Mina.
I am a regular speaker at web3 conferences and often a volunteer for the Ethereum conferences
