Project Description

ZkTutor is a platform aimed at providing accessible and understandable educational materials and technical guides on Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology and the Taiko project. The website holds the potential to create a united impact that resonates throughout Taiko's community and the broader crypto space. By offering accessible educational materials and technical guides, the website empowers both Taiko's community members and crypto enthusiasts at large to gain a deeper understanding of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) technology and its applications. This shared knowledge serves as a bridge, fostering collaboration and connections.

In a strategic approach to content creation, the platform allows only those users who have successfully passed a competency test to contribute content. This mechanism ensures that only qualified and knowledgeable individuals are granted the privilege to share their insights. This process acts as a filter, preventing the influx of subpar content and upholding the platform's commitment to offering valuable and accurate educational resources.

The Whitelist Process is a structured approach that guarantees the inclusion of competent individuals into the content creation process:

1) Users Registration: Users begin by registering on the website, initializing their journey to contribute to the community.

2) Competency Assessment: As part of the inclusion process, a fundamental test on ZK and Taiko is administered. This test gauges users' understanding and familiarity with the subject matter.

3) Whitelist Inclusion: Upon successful completion of the competency test, users are added to the whitelist. This exclusive status grants them the privilege to contribute content to the platform, ensuring that only those with verified knowledge participate in content creation.

Through a selective content creation process, the website ensures the generation of high-quality educational content. This content not only benefits Taiko's community but also contributes to raising the overall educational standard within the crypto sphere. As users become more knowledgeable through the educational resources, both the Taiko community and the crypto space as a whole experience growth in expertise.

The technical guides and code examples offered by the website inspire developers in both the Taiko community and the wider crypto space to experiment with ZK protocols. This hands-on experimentation can spark innovative applications and contribute to the advancement of the entire crypto ecosystem.
