About Event

Zcash's latest shielded protocol, "Orchard", has no backdoor. That's the claim. However, Crypto Twitter FUDsters demand that there is.

So, let's look for one.

@colludingnode has agreed to lead the search, together with the host and the audience, through a dense Merkle forest of commitments, encryption, curves, and zero-knowledge proofs.

If we don't find one, then that is strong evidence that There is No Orchard Backdoor.

Audience: builders, auditors, researchers, technically curious community. Motivated newcomers welcome.

Live on the Zcash global Discord stage. Recorded by Zcash Brazil (+ Portuguese translation). Recording + transcript available after.

Hosted by Mark Henderson (@shieldedmark) through Shielded Labs.
