Richard

In this panel, members of Cursive, ZK Email, ZKP2P, and TACEO will describe their experience building and enabling consumer applications using programmable cryptography. They will discuss how advances in ZK, MPC, and FHE enable new types of applications to be built, how to get started building cryptographic apps, tradeoffs in tooling, and the challenges and potential pitfalls while using these tools. Finally, they'll share some future ideas for cryptography-centric apps they're excited about!

Stage 6

Building Consumer Apps with ZK, MPC, and FHE

Blockchains have enabled trustless and fast transaction settlement (i.e. stablecoins, DeFi). However, these existing use cases exist in parallel and are siloed off from the real world. With the maturation of ZK, MPC and other programmable crypto techniques, we are now able to connect data on the internet to blockchains in a trust minimized way for use in smart contracts. This talk will explore the massive design space unlocked for apps (i.e. trust minimized P2P marketplaces)
