zApps Working Group
-
Coordinator: Josh Cincinnati (interim coordinator)
-
Forums: This working group will initially begin as a scheduled Hangout among participants, but will eventually include a chat room on chat.zcashcommunity.com and IRL meetings/presentations as well.
-
Statement of Purpose: Pursuant to issue 28 and issue 35, there are many projects—blockchain related and beyond—that are potentially integrating zeroknowledge proofs and processes. To paraphrase @nathan-at-least, this is a newly emerging technical field without well-established techniques, and it stands to reason that a working group could help standardize efforts, hasten development, and improve security across implementations.
-
Mailing List: zapps-wg
Next Steps:
- Assemble list of potential participants and directly reach out. The current outreach list includes:
- Filecoin
- Ethereum
- Chronicled
- QED-it
- Tezos
- Quorum
- Zcash Company
- Libsnark
- Schedule Hangout, including a small presentation by the Zcash Company to describe their latest work and to collect feedback from other participants
- Initiate other channels for discussion (chat.zcashcommunity.com) and highlight opportunities for mutual development.
- IRL presentation by working group at a large venue (Devcon/meetup?)
Long Term Goal: In addition to fostering cooperation between many supporters and researchers behind zeroknowledge systems, the group would publish reports on their findings...and eventually offer services to other developers/researchers who want to build their own zeroknowledge applications (hence the zApp moniker).
