ZK Podcast

Once you've finished listening to the ~200 hours of content produced by the Zero Knowledge podcast, you might want to follow up with the largest congregation of Zero Knowledge interest on the internet (that we have found so far). As a landmark in the space, the community around this telegram has grown considerably since its inception and you can almost consider it a town square for ZK happenings. With Circom being the dominant tool for applied ZK, there is no shortage of discussion on the tool.

Discord Communities

ZK Hack

ZK Hack is an offshoot of the Zero Knowledge Podcast. They host hackathons and study groups that facilitate a deep dive into the theory and application of Zero Knowledge. This isn't necessarily the place to ask a random question, but it is worth keeping your eyes on as you grow competent and begin seeking ways to prove yourself.

Ethereum Foundation - Privacy and Scaling Explorations

The Ethereum Foundation's Privacy and Scaling Explorations team (EF PSE) is one of the most important entities helping the Ethereum ecosystem explore applied Zero Knowledge. From building a Type 1 zkEVM, to the funding of groundbreaking research and development, EF PSE is putting resources and effort into bringing about the ZK era. Many channels are restricted to PSE members, but the general channel is available for inquiries.

BattleZips

One of the most forgiving places you will find to ask beginner/ "stupid" questions is the BattleZips discord. We created this server to allow those working with the BattleZips stack to converse directly with us on anything related to BattleZips or Zero Knowledge app development in general!
