Time to build some cryptographic methods out of rings and their associated hard problems

Let's focus on the lifeblood of Blockchains early: Transactions!

Following from SNARKs, we now explore another type of knowledge proofs tailored for scalability

Before moving on into more complex zero knowledge proofs, we need to introduce a new model: arithmetic circuits!

Let’s shift our focus to how a decentralized system can agree on a single truth: through consensus.

We embark on a new journey, where we explore the amazing technology of Blockchains

Let’s get practical, and build some arithmetic circuits!

We take a leap into the world of zero-knowledge proofs by exploring one of the many ZKP protocols out there: Bulletproofs

Now that we know about rings, we need a hard problem to work out some cryptography from them - enter Ring Learning With Errors!

Before moving onto the latest frontier of cryptography - post-quantum cryptography - , we need to lay down some more groundwork!

This second round of zero knowledge proofs will take us on a journey to understand a more general framework. Hang tight!

An expansion upon the ideas behind simpler commitment schemes, providing important tools for more complex constructions down the road
