Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of ZK-SNARKs, your blockchain protocols expose sensitive data and leave your applications vulnerable to leaks and attacks.

  • 75 % of DeFi security incidents in 2023 stemmed from privacy failures, at an average cost of 4 million euros per breach, according to PeckShield.

  • Your company risks GDPR fines of 4 % of annual revenue and a 30 % loss of market share to privacy-first competitors, directly undermining your strategic position.

  • Each month without ZK-SNARKs expertise equals 6 months of delay on scalable launches, locking in the obsolescence of your projects.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the fundamental principles of zero-knowledge proofs (Zero-Knowledge Proofs)
  • Explain the structure and operation of ZK-SNARK protocols
  • Implement a ZK-SNARK proof on a blockchain project
  • Analyze the performance, limitations, and security challenges of ZK-SNARKs
  • Explore concrete applications in decentralized finance and digital identity

Program

Module 1Cryptographic Foundations and Introduction to Zero-Knowledge Proofs

Review of essential cryptographic concepts (hash functions, elliptic curves, digital signatures). Introduction to Zero-Knowledge Proofs: definitions, history, challenges, and main protocol families. Comparative presentation between ZK-SNARK and ZK-STARK. Simple applied examples.

Module 2Architecture and Operation of ZK-SNARKs

Structure of a ZK-SNARK: setup, proof, verification. Underlying mathematical mechanisms: polynomial commitments, arithmetic circuits, trusted setup. Study of the Groth16 protocol and recent alternatives. Introduction to development libraries (snarkjs, circom, bellman...). First circuit coding exercises.

Module 3Implementation and Advanced Use Cases

Design and code a ZK-SNARK proof adapted to a blockchain use case (confidential transactions, proof of data integrity, decentralized identity). Deployment on a compatible blockchain (e.g., Ethereum or zkSync). Performance analysis and verification costs. Limitations, potential vulnerabilities, adoption challenges, and innovation paths. In-depth review of real projects (Zcash, Tornado Cash, Aztec Network...)

Evaluation method

  • Multiple-choice quiz (MCQ) to validate theoretical knowledge after each module
  • Technical case study at the end of the training (creation of a concrete circuit and verification on testnet)

Learning method

  • Interactive lectures with multimedia support
  • Live programming workshops
  • Group debriefings and individualized feedback
  • Supplementary resources: scientific articles and open-source documentation

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Mastering ZK-SNARKs: Privacy and Zero-Knowledge Proofs program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Mastering ZK-SNARKs: Privacy and Zero-Knowledge Proofs program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Mastering ZK-SNARKs: Privacy and Zero-Knowledge Proofs program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
