## Description

ZK tech is the future of Ethereum, but the math and theory behind it are really complex. This talk will be focused both on how zk proofs actually work on-chain, and tangible differences between zk projects deployed on main-chain Ethereum. There's a seldom tread place between 'where's waldo' basics and brilliant PHD's inventing new Plonk constructions (with new Plonk names).  Let's take a journey there and talk about what ZK does practically.
