About ZKET Core Program

Welcome to the ZKET Core Program Ecuador 2025, an initiative by the ZK Education Team of the Ethereum Foundation. This is your opportunity to dive deep into Programmable Cryptography (ProgCrypto) with a special emphasis on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), privacy, and secure computation.

Our mission is to train and empower the next generation of ZK experts in Ecuador through 6 intensive weeks of hands-on learning, open-source contributions, and mentorship. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies like Circom, Cairo, Noir, and Plonkathon while contributing to real-world projects.

This immersive program requires genuine commitment and passion for cryptography and mathematics. With only 15 spots available, we're looking for students and professionals with a strong foundation in programming or mathematics who are ready to push the boundaries of what's possible with zero-knowledge technology.
