Community
Where zero-knowledge security actually gets discussed — research collectives, forums, newsletters, and standards efforts.
Communities
0xPARC
A non-profit research and development organization supporting applied cryptography and ZK application development, known for programs like ZK learning groups and the ZK Bug Tracker.
FreePrivacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE)
An Ethereum Foundation-supported research lab building open-source zero-knowledge and privacy infrastructure, including Semaphore, MACI, TLSNotary, and zkEVM research.
FreeZero Knowledge Podcast
The long-running podcast hosted by Anna Rose covering zero-knowledge research, proof systems, and the teams building ZK infrastructure, with an active community around it.
FreezkMesh
A monthly newsletter curating the latest in decentralized privacy technology: zero-knowledge research papers, protocol releases, and ecosystem news.
Freeethresear.ch
The Ethereum research forum where much of the public discussion of rollups, proof systems, and cryptographic protocol design happens, including foundational ZK rollup threads.
FreeZK Hack
A community running ZK-focused puzzle competitions, study sessions, and hackathon-style events, widely used as an on-ramp into practical ZK security skills.
FreeZKProof
An open-industry academic initiative working to standardize zero-knowledge proof techniques, publishing the ZKProof Community Reference and running annual workshops.
FreeAwesome Zero-Knowledge Proofs
A community-curated GitHub list of zero-knowledge proof resources: papers, courses, implementations, and applications, maintained under the Matter Labs organization.
FreeZK Summit
A recurring conference organized by the Zero Knowledge Podcast team, gathering researchers and practitioners for talks on proof systems, ZK applications, and security.
MoonMath Manual
