Introducing 'Proof Parties' - a platform for games and competitions demonstrating the state of the art in ZKP.

At ETH Denver I heard a bunch of :

"Why is ZK important?" 
"What can I do with it?"
"Show me!"

DeSCI is dead, long live DeSCI! Data and computer science problems can often be verified with ZK. Future 'Proof Party' competition will targeted towards experts in these fields, where they can work in teams or solo, pushing forward their fields. One such game would be to use a prediction model to forecast the price of an asset over two weeks. Best model wins! With ZK you keep the data and potentially the model hidden, while we can all see you ran it (w/ ZK) and the predictions were the most accurate each day. AI experts can play, ZK experts can play (SoTa zkML w/ continuations).

If you don't care about privacy you can break big problems up and run then in ZKP with 'continuations'. So you can quite literally have a challenge where you co-operate with your friends to make proofs fast.  What does a prover network look like in collaborative setting? @NovaNet_zkp 👀

We hope that Proof Parties are  fun and easy to use and understand for everyone! Try ZKP in your browser today

FIN.

Other than scaling blockchain - the use-case of ZK is numerous for privacy and local verifiable compute. ZKP acts as a third degree of freedom for web3. The first is a ledge (BTC), second (smart contracts), and third is ZKP where ANY compute can be used via succinct verification; off-chain compute triggers on-chain actions.

State of the art is often dev focused — so normal people do not get to see it. Why would anyone get hyped about something they can't see? Proof Parties mostly works in browsers and on-device. For example, in an initial challenge we have delegated Spartan working in browser showing if an IP is in a blacklist or not. Simple - fast - client side ZK.

I have gathered with friends at a coffee shop

When creating ZKP-based games and competitions, make sure the experience is engaging and fun. Users will be more engaged if they feel there is an interesting challenge, but can still learn the concept of ZKP through gamification.
