ZK Newsletter retweeted
I've had quite a few people ask me how to get started in ZK. I'm by no means any expert, but here's what worked for me, and I still keep adding to it:
Part 1:
1. rareskills.io/zk-book: which is the best resource to start as a beginner
2. rb.gy/et58js: I moved on to reading the moon-math manual and solving the exercises. It gets easy if you have already read the Zk-book
3. abstract.ups.edu/: For learning Abstract Algebra in detail, I recently added it to my list, and it's great.
This gives us enough exposure to zk mathematics, and we move on to deep-diving next,
Part 2:
1. zk-learning.org/: ZKP-MOOC series is great for understanding various protocols, along with some circuit writing sessions
2. rb.gy/x786jz: Justin Thaler's "Proof, Args, and Zk” is the best book for learning everything from the ground up, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
3.rb.gy/ulkrnt: ZK-Whiteboard sessions by the professionals themselves.
Once through with the above resources, we should be good enough to read the newly released research papers and advancements.
insights.zkpunk.pro/ and @ZKNewsletter have been my go-to sources for tracking recent updates.
Some other resources which I followed include:
1. toc.cryptobook.us/: “Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography” by Dan Boneh for understanding cryptography in general (math-heavy, still reading..)
2. Real-world Cryptography by @cryptodavidw, giving us exposure to real-life use cases of cryptography without forcing us to know the exact maths.
3. rb.gy/72sybw: I still have this tweet by @portport255 bookmarked, listing all the books in one place. He is an amazing guide.
It’s an ever-evolving field—keep learning and enjoy the journey! I’m still learning too, so let’s grow together. Good luckkk !!!

We've been approaching ZK adoption the wrong way.
Developers shouldn't start by picking the "right" proof system. Instead, proof systems should be commoditized.
Read on for a sneak peek of an upcoming, exciting blog.
-------------
The focus should be on three key factors once the business logic needing proof is identified:
Cost per transaction: Developers need a clear view of the cost per transaction with ZK adoption, which includes proving, aggregation, and verification costs.
Transaction time: This covers the full end-to-end lifecycle of a transaction with ZK, including proving time, aggregation latency, and verification time.
Security requirements: The level of security required from the proof system should be the primary ZK-specific decision.
Choices like proof system selection and hardware configuration are secondary and should be implied by these core factors.
