On Chain Privacy w/ IronFish

May 9 2023 • 1 hr 13 mins

It all started for Elena when she attended a dining event where the only topic was ETH. As an experienced engineer, not knowing what was being discussed got her interested, which led to her first ETH hackathon where she had her first contact with some big names broadening her horizons. From then on, being a blockchain evangelist, her interest in privacy and zkRollups led her to found Iron Fish, an encrypted end-to-end decentralized open-source L1.

Glossary
zK-Proofs: Zero-Knowledge Proofs, a cryptographic method that allows one party to prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the statement itself.

Miners: nodes on a blockchain network that perform the computational work required to validate and confirm transactions and add new blocks to the blockchain.

Validators: nodes on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain network that are responsible for validating and verifying transactions and adding new blocks to the blockchain.

Nodes: individual computers or devices that participate in a blockchain network and maintain a copy of the blockchain ledger.
