[Václav Pavlín | λ @vpavlin]

There is one new protocol in @Waku_org that I am very excited for - Scalable Data Sync (SDS - and Reliable Channels abstraction @fryorcraken built on top of this.

"...SDS protocol to achieve end-to-end reliability when consolidating distributed logs in a decentralized manner..."

[Václav Pavlín | λ @vpavlin]

In case it is not clear and obvious - I am coing to @ETHCluj :) I am bringing:

* A talk about non-blockchain web3 infra
* 3d printed swag
* @Keycard_ Shel and Keycard wallets
* @Waku_org, @Codex_storage, @StatusL2 knowledge
* (maybe) a lightning talk space for anyone

Zero Knowledge Proofs - want to learn how to program them but not sure where to start?

https://t.co/gTFh0K9ip2

Any new and innovative technology is hard to learn. This tutorial makes it easy for you, the working programmer, to learn how to write ZKPs from scratch.

You'll build a digital signature scheme, deepen your mental model, get the hang of the edit-debug-run cycle, and gain the ability to develop things like group signatures.

Includes plenty of exercises and graphics to deepen your grok.

For anyone who write code for a living and wants to program the future with ZKPs.

A Friendly Introduction to Zero Knowledge Proofs

https://t.co/EBstPQDfSS

Explore the magic of ZKPs: what they are, why you should care, how they work, and where we can use them.

For anyone curious about this new tech and want to grok it better. No math or code required.

It was a privilege to brainstorm, design, build, break, rethink and rebuild with @oskarth for the last couple of years. Thanks for bringing solid principles, good humour and creativity to the heart of developing public goods at @vacp2p.

1/ Today is my last day working at @vacp2p @waku_org and @ethstatus. I've been doing this for the last 5-6y and it has been amazing in many ways.

Life is short, and now it is time for me to do something else. I'm looking forward to doing more hacking and working on other things.

Waku aims to be secure and privacy-preserving. What does this mean exactly?

In this first post of many we define relevant terms, summarize guarantees under specific threat models, analyze the relay protocol, and give a taste of future work.

Busy couple of weeks for Vac Research:

- At @eth_barcelona @4aelius gave a workshop on Waku
- At DINPS22 in Bologna @sanaz2016 gave an overview of RLN-RELAY, and we gave a demo of Waku
- At ICDCS22 we presented a poster for RLN-RELAY

...and we are in the middle of our offsite!
