Noir : Beginner’s Guide II In Part I, we explored the foundational steps to get started with Noir and seamlessly integrate its zero-knowledge proof capabilities into smart contracts. With Noir’s ACIR compilation and Solidity verifier contracts, we saw how to incorporate privacy-preserving logic into decentralized applications across EVM-compatible chains. Now, it’s time to take things further. In Part II, we’ll dive into how to interact with Noir circuits directly from the frontend. This integration enab...

Noir : Beginner’s Guide I What is Noir? Noir is a domain-specific language (DSL) for zero-knowledge (ZK) programming, designed to simplify the creation of ZK circuits. Released in October 2022, Noir provides a high-level programming experience similar to Rust, with platform-agnostic compilation that enables developers to build ZK proofs on various proving systems. Think of Noir as the “universal adapter” for ZK programming. It takes a high-level problem and translates it into a form that works across var...

India stands at the forefront of a digital revolution, having successfully harnessed Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to transform its fintech landscape and beyond. Over the past decade, India has innovated and scaled groundbreaking projects that have redefined financial inclusion, accessibility, and efficiency on a global scale. Key initiatives such as Aadhaar, UPI, FASTag, ONDC, and DigiLocker exemplify India’s commitment to building a robust and inclusive digital economy. Aadhaar: With over 1.39 b...
