I'm the luckiest guy. But it took a lot of effort to be lucky.

We've cut the constraints of a circuit by 99.4% with Noir!
9 million R1CS constraints -> 57k Plonkish constraints
300+ line circom circuit -> 20 line Noir circuit
Noir allows us to write simple, easy, and blazing fast ZK proofs.
And it wasn't even hard, here's how we did it 👇

Everytime I dip a little bit in Noir, I get my head blown 🤯

Here’s what it does and how it works 👇

You know why
@aztecnetwork
is successful?
Because our CEO is an engineering beast. 28k constraints for an RSA sig is 🤯
For comparison, the circuit I wrote in a rush for EthGlobal had 100k constraints and proved in 20s. On a PHONE 😳
Noir gud.
been messing around with noir and got a 250x speedup for verifying rsa signatures vs the existing lib
2,048 bit RSA sig now verifies in 28k constraints
lib is super unfinished will share deets when stable
should help with passport proofs, zk email etc

For me the admission criteria for an Aztec bounty is pretty basic:
- You learned something new with our tech
- You built a demo of a project that uses it
You can’t learn Aztec in 36 hours.
But you can learn for 36 hours, with Aztec.

The pace of development of ZK tech is only comparable to the pace of computer development. Every day, a new prover, a new scheme, a new technique.
Just a few weeks ago, Sangria came out. Today, everyone is already crazy with zkp folding schemes. Tomorrow? No one knows!
ZKP folding schemes (Nova) for Dummies.
Nova is all of the rage at the moment. If you go to an ETH or ZKP event, you will hear 'FOLDING'!
Folding here, Origami there with some Sangria 🍷. So what is it, where is it going, and why do people like it?

If you ever see a DevRel saying “that’s not my job”, start flipping tables.
It’s always a DevRel’s job.
Maybe you won’t get a good or fast result, but a DevRel will **always** take a jab at it. Whatever it is.
In the past 2 months or so, I:
- Benchmarked proving systems
-
Agree with this. Devrel is what makes or breaks an ecosystem.
Pedant note: we don’t actually pay 1 gazillion dollars in salary, that’s a bit outside our budget.

I landed my first dev job with close to 0 coding experience. Don’t ask me how.
I was scared to death, jumping into the unknown, so I didn’t leave my teaching role that year.
Now… Adding a full-time programming role on top of my existing life was non-trivial:
- I teached in 3
Spent another lunch break in this delivery vehicle coding. It’s pouring outside. I’m more excited to code than to eat. Everyday is one day closer. Props to everyone coding in any spare time they have to get out of a job they don’t like, to get into one they do. ❤️

About 12 years ago, I would walk to McDonald’s every night, and would leave in tears 😞
McDonald’s WiFi allowed me to speak with my family, saved me from solitude during my first weeks in Paris as a music student.
The artistic world is toxic, unforgiving, and inhuman.
I’m using McDonalds as a co-working space.
- open until late
- wifi internet 22mbps
- coffee is burnt but for $1.4 good enough
- if you don’t like food you can just buy bottle of water and salad
