channels are good for interoperability too, additionally there’s the Perun project working on ETH<>CKB swaps (and investigating Fiber compatibility).
BTCFi in channels using Fiber could be really interesting. To answer your question I’m not sure there really is a focus, Fiber is definitely a priority from core dev side but I can see efforts growing in different directions, like quantum-resistance for example, AT Proto social networks, or even privacy (if someone would just implement the cryptography!).
That’s cool. I now building a payment gateway system, but it’s based on EVM. Maybe can access fiber service, but Im not sure, because it looks like need more requirements? on user-side.
And I also have an auditable zk assets technology and Im I’m integrating it with AI. If privacy is also a concern for Nervos, maybe there is definitely an opportunity.
Haha, you got it, that was a privacy asset protocol we designed before, and I’m currently re-designing it, making it more simpler and more convenient for cross-chain transfer based on Verkle tree + plonk (not finished yet).
I started learning about zero-knowledge proofs in 2019 when I joined secbit labs.
At that time, the best learning materials were various ZK papers, mainly about different zk schemes. This was because papers were more advanced than engineering projects, and there were very few projects(code) to refer to. e.g. bellman.
Then, I learned about various underlying cryptographic knowledge by participating in the cryptographic libraries of ZK, like arkworks-rs. At this time, start need more math knowledge.
So, Now, already there are various libraries to learn. If you’re want to quickly develop a real-world tools, I recommend starting with zk-DSL, such as Circom (firstly work), and then learning the classic Groth16 library, along with the latest scheme approach (improve performace). Finally, if want, you can deeper into lower-level mathematics and theories (design algo).
No problem bro, you need join the clean cryptography group which will share some new papers daily. and follow some top cryptographer’s social media (mostly twitter), they will also share some news. Because many time, when a new paper comes out, if you don’t have the enough time to study it, you can look at other people’s discussions to see if it meets your needs.
If possible, we can have contact (TG: sunhuachuang). If I see any good news/papers, can also share it with you.
