In my session, I will delve into the intersection of engineering and privacy in blockchain transactions, with a keen focus on compliance. Engineering Privacy: - We begin by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of Groth16. - I'll then showcase how we achieve compliant privacy transactions, transitioning into a deep dive on membership proof. - Key topics include the shift from Plonk to Plookup, the advantages of this transition, and the benefits brought by utilizing WebAssembly (WASM). Navigating Compliance Challenges: - Insights will be shared from Vitalik's paper, "Blockchain Privacy and Regulatory Compliance: Towards a Practical Equilibrium." - Discussion on how Association Set Providers (ASPs) achieve consensus. - Exploration of various compliance restriction mechanisms such as Deposit Screener and Withdrawal Adjudicator, along with existing on-chain AML support strategies. Towards Compliant Tomorrows: - I will conclude with a forward-looking perspective on achieving regulatory compliance while maintaining privacy in blockchain transactions. Contributing to the zkp Field: - A special focus on the emerging zkp field, highlighting how participants can engage and contribute to this transformative technology. - Providing a guide to the best learning resources and entry points for those new to zkp or looking to deepen their understanding.
