September 2020

We have a fundraising initiative on Gitcoin for creating a comprehensive how-to guide on building zk-SNARKs.

Our mission for this project is to bring zk-SNARKs to a wider developer audience so it can be better utilized in projects. The concept was developed by Least Authority team members after they noticed that the absence of such a resource creates a barrier to entry in the space.

Help us reach our goal by donating a few DAI during this current matching round. All donations will be matched with quadratic funding until October 2nd!

We are pleased to sponsor the What Bitcoin Did podcast this September and October. Check out this recent episode: "BTC vs ETH Technicals," with guests Andrew Poelstra, Tadge Dryja, Vitalik Buterin and Patrick McCorry. Before the discussion begins, Least Authority is featured in the first two minutes.

Similar to a book club, our "Paper Club" is a periodic meeting where we discuss a paper as a team.
