Trustless Cross-Chain Information Access on Starknet — Introduction Storage proofs are a cryptographic way to track blockchain information so that it can be shared across chains. Similar to oracles, storage proofs provide proof that the information is true. …

Demystifying SNARK Jargon — For the last few months I’ve been studying zk-SNARK material and I recall what it felt like to hear many of the terms used by the zk-SNARK researchers before I learned what they meant. Well, you see, first you need to FRI the PLONK system such that it is an…

Bitcoin and ethereum both use elliptic-curve cryptography for generating keys and signing transactions. The algorithm they both use is called Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which represents a secure way of signing a message (a transaction for example) using Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). When work started on eth 2.0…

In this article, we will talk about deterministic wallets, hierarchical key generation, as well as how this works mathematically and in what cases this is convenient to apply in practice. This material will be helpful for specialists whose activities relate to payment gateways, Bitcoin wallets, and other coin storages. …
