Zero Knowledge Experiments

Building the Future of Privacy

We're a zero-knowledge research lab pushing the boundaries of cryptographic privacy. From playful experiments to serious infrastructure, we build in public and explore what's possible when privacy meets innovation.

Featured Launch

zk-Waldo is live

A real Where's Waldo puzzle becomes a zero-knowledge proof: click Waldo, generate a RISC Zero receipt, and verify that a trained CNN found him without revealing the private crop or coordinates.

Private witness

Location, crop pixels, tile index, and Merkle path stay hidden while the verifier checks public commitments and a real zkVM receipt.

Our Experiments

From toys to tools, we're exploring every corner of the zero-knowledge universe

zk-Waldo

Find Waldo, then prove it with a trained CNN and RISC Zero without revealing the private crop or coordinates.

zkVM from Scratch

Build a zero-knowledge virtual machine from the ground up, understanding every component.

zkTLS Weather

Prove weather conditions privately using zero-knowledge proofs of TLS connections.

ZK Toys

Mini zk-apps including games, puzzles, and voting tools that make zero-knowledge fun and accessible.

Proof of Mystery

ZK-based ARGs and time-locked puzzles that blend cryptography with storytelling.

zkSocial

Private social graph and reputation system prototypes for the next generation of social networks.

Zero Knowledge IDE

Developer tooling for building and verifying zk circuits with an intuitive interface.

zkInfra

Infrastructure experiments including zk light clients, rollups, and bridges.

zkML & AI

Private inference, verification of LLM claims, and the intersection of ZK with AI.

Our Philosophy

How we approach zero-knowledge research and development

Open Source First

Build in public, attract community, and share knowledge freely

Storytelling via ZK

Puzzles, time capsules, and secret messages that engage and educate

Grants & Hackathons

Build fun ZK projects and use them to secure funding for bigger ideas

AI Crossover

Exploring zkML, private inference, and verification of AI systems
