1️⃣ Zero-knowledge proofs are a type of #cryptographic protocol that allows you to prove knowledge of something without actually revealing the info itself.
This is done by using complex mathematical #algorithms to check the validity of a claim without learning about its info.

2️⃣ One common use case for zero-knowledge proofs is in password authentication.
Instead of sending your actual #password to a server, which could be intercepted by an attacker, a zero-knowledge proof can be used to prove that you know your password without revealing what it is.

A #Bitcoin bed-time story 🧵😴
In a distant corner of the universe, a small group of enterprising beings had discovered the power of #cryptography & used it to create #Bitcoin, a new type of currency that could revolutionize their society.

In a distant corner of the universe, a small group of enterprising beings had discovered the power of #cryptography & used it to create #Bitcoin, a new type of currency that could revolutionize their society.
👇
As word of this new currency spread, more and more people began to adopt it. It was fast, secure, and could be used to buy and sell almost anything. And because it was based on #cryptography, it was virtually impossible to counterfeit or steal.
But with great power comes great responsibility. The creators of #bitcoin knew that they had to be careful about how they managed the currency. They created a #decentralized network of "miners" who worked to verify and validate every transaction that occurred.

1/ First of all, what are zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) in general?
ZKPs are a #cryptographic technique that allow individuals or entities to prove to another that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement.

2/ One variant of ZKPs are non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs (NIZKPs), which don't require interaction between the certifier and verifier.

1/ The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a digital signature scheme that is based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves. It is widely used in many #cryptographic systems, including $ETH, $BTC, and other blockchains.
2/ In the #Ethereum blockchain, ECDSA is used to sign transactions and messages to prove the authenticity of the sender.
#NFTs are everywhere. They are set to revolutionise industries from music to gaming and from fashion to banking.
But, WTF actually are NFTs? 🤷

👨💻The concept of digital #cryptographic assets isn't actually that new and can be traced all the way back to 1993.
The first "modern" NFT, called Quantum, was created on the Namecoin blockchain in 2014.

🪨 The actual explosion in popularity came in 2017 with the release of now iconic #CryptoKitties, #EtherRocks and Punks.
These + other collections paved the way for the NFTs as we know them, but they lacked one thing - a common standard.
(EtherRocks were selling upwards of $1m)

What is Proof of Stake (PoS) ?
Our last 🧵 looked at the original Nakamoto #consensus method that uses #ProofofWork - a trusted & robust method - but very time & energy consuming.

Enter #ProofofStake
1/ With #ProofofStake validators don’t race to solve #cryptographic puzzles (also known as #mining and the main reason #ProofofWork is so energy intensive).
Instead validators #stake their own #crypto assets in order to participate in consensus.

2/ This uses much less energy and is faster - which is important for the #environment and for #applications that require speed and scalability.

1/ Over the past years, #Ethereum popularity has resulted in a massive rise in transactions and, therefore, #network traffic.
With several users competing for faster #transaction processing, a bidding war occurs, resulting in very expensive gas fees for each user.

Once new scaling solutions arise in the #blockchain space, it is always necessary to consider:
- how much they inherit #Layer1 #security and network characteristics
- if they impose stricter user requirements compared to the underlying #Layer1

It's time for some educational fun. It is important to always keep your wallet recovery phrase secret. If anyone gets access to it they have access to your coins. With that in mind, let's have some fun!
