The ZK Engineer’s Starter Kit
Written by Neeraj, an AI & Web3 engineer and product manager who has worked on privacy-preserving identity, legaltech, and ZK learning projects—helping developers bridge the gap between cryptography and real-world apps.
A beginner-friendly crash course on zk-SNARKs & Circom.
How to write, prove, and verify your first ZK circuit (step-by-step).
The 5 biggest mistakes ZK beginners make—and how to avoid them.
Tips to integrate ZK into real dApps with wallets, IPFS, and Solidity.
Best practices to keep growing as a ZK engineer and join the community.
This 5-Day Email Course gave me more clarity on ZK than weeks of reading random blog posts.

Here's everything that's inside:
Day 1: Diving into Circom without understanding the proving lifecycle — why this leads to broken proofs and wasted time.Day 2: Ignoring the cost and performance tradeoffs in production — why this makes your dApp too expensive or slow.Day 3: Using ZK as a buzzword without a real use case — why this results in zero adoption.Day 4: Stopping at toy examples — why you never build anything users actually want.Day 5: Learning ZK in isolation — why you miss out on best practices and critical community knowledge.
