Get started with circom writing simple zk snark games that run on any EVM


ZK Snarks are great for privacy and verifiable computation. These are two superpowers when building on-chain games and Autonomous Worlds. This workshop goes over the basics of circom and higher level concepts to get you started building simple games that are run off-chain, but proof of the results are run on-chain.

Billy Rennekamp is founder of Trifle Labs, blurring the line between art and games with new on-chain experiences. He previously founded Folia.app—a space for exhibiting and collecting NFTs—and Clovers Network—an on-chain game that rewards the creation of scarce art. He has also served as the Cosmos Hub Lead and Funding Manager at Interchain Foundation, and contributed to various Ethereum EIPs, Gnosis and Aragon. He recently completed a stint as Entrepreneur in Residence at 1kx, where he researched zk circuits for verifiable computation of real-time game mechanics.
