Fundamentals of Zero-Knowledge Proofs is the most complete, up-to-date non-technical introduction to zero-knowledge proofs available.

Discover the foundational concepts of zero-knowledge proofs and learn how they work plus why and how they are used. Dive into practical applications of ZKPs, Trusted Setups, and how algorithmic ZKPs work in practice.

Whether you're completely new to coding, a seasoned blockchain developer, or a non-technical person who just wants to learn more about zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving technologies, there is something in here for you.

Fundamentals of Zero-Knowledge Proofs is a beginner friendly, no-code, no-math course, designed to prepare you for later ZK coding courses and accelerate your knowledge of smart contract development.

Take your first step into the world of zero-knowledge proofs today!

Fundamentals of Zero-Knowledge Proofs has 1 hour of video, supported by written tutorials to guide you through your learning. This zero-knowledge course will teach the foundational knowledge you need to master ZKPs and set you up for success learning advanced zero-knowledge proof blockchain development and security concepts in later Cyfrin Updraft courses.

Even if you have zero programming experience, Fundamentals of Zero-Knowledge Proofs will help you take your first step into a career in non-technical ZKP-focused roles like BD, sales, and marketing or as a ZKP smart contract developer, blockchain engineer, or security researcher. Here’s why:

• Courses are always updated to reflect the latest industry standards. Learn the latest tools and technologies used at large companies and protocols, with always-fresh content, including new projects, modules, and quizzes.
• The world’s leading Solidity smart contract developers and web3 educators teach the course.
• The curriculum was developed and refined through comprehensive student testing, feedback, and reviews.
• We've onboarded over 200,000 students into blockchain, DeFi, decentralized applications (dApps), and distributed ledger technology.
• Thousands of students have changed their lives. They’ve become blockchain engineers, smart contract and dApp auditors, or professional blockchain developers. Many choose to join industry-leading companies.

Engaging videos, hosted by Ciara Nightingale, guide you step-by-step, through the fundamentals of zero-knowledge proofs. Each lesson also contains a full transcript for you to follow along with if you prefer learning by reading.

This is the right course for you if you are curious about zero-knowledge proofs, want to understand how they work from a high-level, or are considering learning how to develop ZKP-based protocols.

You will learn:

• Fundamentals of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs)
• Interactive vs non-interactive ZKPs
• ZKP requirements
• ZK terminology
• How ZKPs work in practice

When you complete this course, you’ll understand the fundamentals of ZKPs and be ready to take the next step.
