Welcome to our freshest event roundup! We journeyed to the stunning UK, leaving our digital footprints across Oxford and London.

This adventure was enriched by participating in the ETH OXFORD hackathon organized by HomeDAO and the ETHLondon Hackathon by ETHGlobal. Our hackers dove deep into the competitions, achieving surprisingly delightful awards.

Now, let's pull back the curtain on the phenomenal undertakings of the Antalpha HackerHouse #ProofCircuit and share the journey of innovation, collaboration, and spirited community engagement that led us to the forefront of technological exploration. From interactive workshops to revealing pioneering projects, this experience was a genuine source of inspiration and growth.

Antalpha HackerHouse #ProofCircuit @London

During the AHH #ProofCircuit from March 7th to March 18th, participants engaged in deep dives and collaborative learning sessions on cutting-edge topics in cryptography and blockchain technology. The focus was on advancing Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technologies, covering areas like new language development, compiler optimization, and improving security, scalability, and efficiency. Efforts were also made to enhance the user-friendliness and accessibility of ZKPs.

The highlight was the Demo Day on March 15th, held at the Aztec Network's London office. This special event showcased research demos on a variety of topics including MACI, TLSnotary, Proof of Passport, CircleStark, and more. It was a prelude to the excitement and innovation that would continue at ETHLondon, setting the stage for further exploration and development in these groundbreaking areas. And just when you thought it couldn't get more exciting, we turned up the fun with a fitness competition right at Aztec!

We're thrilled to share a new demo video from our #ProofCircuit HackerHouse, including topics like Circle STARKs, Privacy preserving nullifiers for proof of identity applications, Tlsnotary, MACI, Ed448-Goldilocks, HyperPlonk - Plonk with Linear-Time Prover and High-Degree. A sneak peek into our innovative work!

Hackathons and projects

ETH OXFORD @HomeDAO

ETH Oxford, hosted by HomeDAO at the iconic University of Oxford's Mathematical Institute from March 8th to 11th, was a blast! It was a 3-day hack-fest where web3 builders and newbies alike dove into everything from Zero-Knowledge and Privacy to Oracles and DeFi. It was all about innovation, collaboration, and, of course, some friendly competition.

Our team shone brightly at ETH Oxford, snagging awards in both the "AI, Account Abstraction, and Emerging Ideas" track and the "ZK, Privacy & Compliance Track" with our project Motema. This ingenious project aims to ensure fair compensation for Congolese miners using a mix of high-tech tools. Shout out to our hackers @lancenonce @armsves !

Not stopping there, our team members @realgigiyip @harryx1x1 also introduced Hedwig, a clever tool that lets users prove email receipt via zero-knowledge proofs, ensuring privacy without relying on an external server. For more information of Hedwig, you can check out here:

ETH Oxford was a hotbed of innovation, showcasing a plethora of incredible projects. The folks over at @HomeDAO_live have kindly put together a list of finalists that you really don't want to miss out on. Check out the finalists and get inspired by the amazing work done by the participants!

And guess what? Our journey didn't end there; we packed our bags and headed to London for ETHLondon, ready for the next round of blockchain brilliance!

ETHLondon Hackathon @ETHGlobal

ETHGlobal London 2024 took place from March 15 to 17, offering a platform for blockchain innovation with $275,000 in prizes available. The event featured a diverse range of partners and was hosted at The Truman Brewery. The ETHGlobal London finalists showcased a diverse array of blockchain innovations：https://twitter.com/ETHGlobal/status/1769417544329240965
