Started diving into Noir (programming language) and the ZK world ⚫🔒

Created a simple password verifier. Nothing too fancy, just a very simple ZK implementation.

What does it do? 
If a system uses this, even if it gets hacked, hackers won't be able to steal or guess your password.

What I learned:
- Use Poseidon hash which is optimised for ZKP's. Unlike Keccak or SHA-256.
- Stick to one version of Nargo
- Use fixed sized values. 
- Optimise by reducing the number of gates = Faster, smaller proofs and quicker verification

Thanks, it's such a big thing that can't be ignored and I don't want to be 2026 and be like.. ahhhh didn't do any ZK stuff 

What are your new year resolutions?

I've put away Solidity for a long while. Bought a course back in 2021. Only touched it once.

What are you planning to build with Rust?

Sure! Hopefully my knowledge is broader than today

I completely understand this and is the same way i feel with ZK stuff. 
I am currrently climbing the Solidity and Rust mountains simultaneously and even though I have my eyes on ZK stuff, put on anything else would be detrimental.

Keep forging on, will reach out when I am ready.
