Last episode on zkSNARKs for a while! After this one, if you've been following the series, we have gone from zero to knowing how to make a full zk-SNARK!
This episode is all about the PLONK PIOP!
It is the magic behind PLONK, the zk-SNARK proving system that powers fast, secure, and private computations on blockchains like Ethereum, as well as off-chain systems.
It's the protocol that lets a prover convince a verifier that the PLONK constraints are satisfied, all without revealing any secret data, using polynomial commitments and clever checks.
Heard the term "PLONK" before but never really understood how it works?
In Episode 6 of my series ๐ฌ I break it down step-by-step.

Security researcher ily2 has just earned a staggering $3,000,000 from submitting a critical smart contract bug via Immunefi.
That's the largest single payout in web3 security in recent memory.
In total, he's submitted 3 reports. All 3 were paid. 100% accuracy.
His leaderboard update is coming soon, but you can pledge IMU to him now and earn when he finds the next one:
