zk-STARKs provide scalable, transparent cryptographic proofs that secure blockchain transactions without requiring a trusted setup.

Developed by Eli Ben-Sasson and the StarkWare team, zk-STARKs (Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Arguments of Knowledge) utilize lean hash functions to achieve post-quantum security. Unlike SNARKs, they eliminate the need for a multi-party trusted setup (ceremony), relying instead on publicly verifiable randomness. This architecture allows Layer 2 engines like Starknet to batch thousands of transactions into a single proof, reducing gas costs on Ethereum while maintaining exponential scalability: as the computation grows, the verification time remains nearly constant.

### [Generating zk-Proofs from Browser Interactions Using Claude Vision](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Nm7EH_v3HOE)

Learn how AI vision models generate zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) from browser interactions without exposing sensitive data. We’ll demonstrate how our system observes user actions within a secure webview to create zk-proofs for credential verification and compliance monitoring. We’ll also explore the challenges we faced in building this technology, from ensuring user privacy to overcoming technical hurdles. Discover how advancements in AI and cryptography enable secure, private verification.
