About ZK Hints
A curated knowledge base for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts exploring the world of Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
Welcome to zkHints, a curated knowledge base for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts exploring the world of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs).
Whether you're just beginning your ZK journey or looking for deep technical comparisons, zkHints offers a growing collection of cheatsheets, reference materials, and learning paths — all designed to make working with ZK more accessible, practical, and fun.
Why zkHints?
Zero-Knowledge technologies are evolving rapidly, but learning resources are scattered, overly theoretical, or hard to keep up with. We created zkHints to:

Developer Cheatsheets
Provide developer-friendly cheatsheets for ZK systems, languages, gadgets, primitives, and applications
Guided Roadmaps
Offer guided roadmaps for ZK learners from beginner to advanced levels
Practical Focus
Maintain a practical focus on tools, real-world use cases, and implementation details
Research Highlights
Highlight foundational papers, terminology, and active research areas
Meet the Bulb Wizard
Our adorable mascot — the Crystal Bulb Wizard — symbolizes the light of knowledge and the crystal clarity we aim to bring to Zero-Knowledge concepts.
You'll also meet their friends: Alice, Bob, Eve, and Mallory, reimagined in bulb form to help explain classic cryptographic roles in a more visual and playful way.
