The coding segment for the 2022 Zero-Knowledge Proof Hackathon concludes, participated by 929 individuals, all with the goal of creating a project that could run on the BSV blockchain.
scryptTS allows developers to directly code smart contracts in Typescript, using existing programming languages and tools that many are already familiar with.
The cryptographic protocol Proof of Retrievability allow users to pay for cloud storage without having to trust the server.
Bitcoin entrepreneur and developer Xiaohui Liu has spent some time explaining Bitcoin smart contracts in a two-part video lesson on his YouTube channel.
The Verifiable Delay Function acts as another layer of security in blockchain, preventing bad faith actors from influencing an output by predicting future values.
By using Zero-Knowledge Contingent Payment (ZKCP), a seller does not have to interact with the buyer, as they only need to post a single bounty transaction.
Outsourcing arbitrary computation securely and privately on a blockchain needs Zero Knowledge Proof to validate encrypted solution and prevent data from leaking.
The Central Bank of Russia (CBR)’s report delved into digital asset regulations, retail investor protection, and other facets as it hailed smart contracts.
Signatures act as public keys/addresses that are used to pre-authorize state updates and carry out token transactions.
Bitcoin's programmability and scalability have paved the way for the creation of PLONK proof, a system that can be implemented similarly to a smart contract.
In the first part of "How PLONK works," sCrypt explained how to transform a computation to prove using PLONK into an intermediate constraint system; now, they covered the other type: copy constraints.
The introduction of sCrypt Playground combines the power of desktop IDE and the convenience of sCrypt Studio, providing a seamless development and management of sCrypt smart contracts.
