Recent advancements in cryptography on consumer devices (like your mobile phone) and progress in developer tooling (Semaphore, SnarkJS) have led to the emergence of open-source projects such as Zupass, a personal "cryptographic computer" helping power Devcon. This talk dives into the technical challenges behind scaling ZKPs to 10,000+ consumer devices and the history behind the project, from its inception at Zuzalu to its usage at recent Ethereum events (Devconnect, ProgCrypto, ETHBerlin).
