Non-interactive, Unique Nullifiers: The Key to The Next Era of ZK
ZK app systems are being held back because there isn't an anonymous way to prove that you aren't double claiming/double posting. In this talk, we explore the variety of nullifiers and present a new signature scheme that would enable things like zk airdrops or other zk systems that require uniqueness.
Keynote: Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again: Why we need privacy
The Web3 revolution seeks to address the sins of Web2. However, in doing so, it’s created an even worse outcome for users - users’ data is publicly available and makes them vulnerable to state-level censorship and adverse actions. This talk will address the philosophical as well as practical considerations of privacy in Web3. Privacy is an industry-wide issue and sits at the heart of all that is Web3. Understanding why privacy matters involves recognizing that it is not an isolated concept bu
Keynote: Lessons learned from Tor
I will share lessons learned during Tor's twenty years as free software fighting for privacy and human rights. We'll talk about distributed trust and privacy by design, how to help people understand the good uses of your tech, getting allies in both cypherpunks and government, why transparency and community-building are so essential to trust, and successes from other spaces. It may seem like the crypto wars never really end, but we all have a part to play in saving the world.
heyanon.xyz
Demoing heyanon, an open-source app allowing you to anonymously tweet as a verified member of on and off-chain groups. We’ll talk about how you can submit your own groups, our work on improving the ECDSA group experience, and our many ideas for extensions!

Scaling up Trustless Neural Network Inference with Zero-Knowledge Proofs
We present the first ZK-SNARK proof of valid inference for a full resolution ImageNet model. We will describe the arithmetization and quantization optimizations enabling us to SNARK large neural networks as well as a software package enabling transpilation from off-the-shelf models to halo2 circuits. We design protocols using our circuits to verify machine learning model predictions and accuracy and present concrete estimates of overhead costs based on our circuit implementations. This is joint
SNARK Light Clients
During this session, we'll go over basic components of Miden VM and describe how we've implemented them using the STARK proving system. We'll also provide a high-level overview of Miden VM features, and compare them against other ZK virtual machines.
STARKs in SNARKs
We'll create a ZK circuit live, build a STARK, and build a SNARK that verifies the STARK.
Unirep Social - A demo application of Unirep protocol
Unirep is a private reputation system. In this session we will use a social media app called Unirep Social to demo the Unirep protocol.
