Zero-knowledge proofs are transforming how blockchain applications handle computation, privacy, and scalability. This course explores ZK coprocessors, powerful off-chain engines that perform computation and generate cryptographic proofs, and the proof networks that deliver them to smart contracts. Learners will gain both foundational understanding and exposure to advanced tools and real-world use cases across DeFi, cross-chain messaging, and AI verification.
This is a five-module course designed for both beginners and technical learners who want to understand the role of ZK coprocessors and proof networks in the blockchain ecosystem. The course moves from basic concepts to real-world architectures, developer tooling, and ecosystem trends â all explained in simple, readable English without mathematical complexity.
