Leveling Up NFTs With Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Part of Consensus 2023

This event took place on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at 4:45 PM UTC.

Location: Austin Convention Center: The Hash Stage. The growth of the non-fungible token (NFT) market raises concerns about privacy, security and scalability. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), which make it possible to prove a statement about a set of data is true without revealing the data, can address all three challenges. Combining these two game-changing technologies will pave the way for a more robust and decentralized digital asset market. CoinDesk is trying something new. We airdropped the right to a speaking slot at Consensus to holders of our Microcosm NFTs. Recipients had the choice to exercise this right, gift or sell it. Muhammad Shakil is the first speaker recruited through this program.
