Zcash Community Connect :Surat Edition
Zcash India is coming to Surat for its first-ever in-person developer event at P P Savani University.
If you're a student who wants to understand what zero-knowledge proofs actually are, how financial privacy technology works, and what real opportunities exist for Indian developers inside the Zcash ecosystem right now — this event is built for you.
No prior experience required. Just curiosity.
What to expect:
🔐 Zcash 101 — The Privacy Layer Explained
We break down Zcash from scratch. What it is, why it matters, how shielded transactions work, and why zero-knowledge proofs are one of the most important cryptographic innovations developers should be paying attention to right now.
Plain language, real examples, no jargon.
⚡ ZK Proofs for Developers
A practical introduction to zero-knowledge proof technology for computer science and engineering students.
