Books

zkintro is an open-access book series introducing zero-knowledge proofs, written by Oskar Thorén. I curate the Italian edition: I translate and adapt each volume, and the result is published in the official zkintro repository and on zkintro.com alongside the English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese editions. All three volumes are now available in Italian.
