0xSubRosa is an independent research group working on zero knowledge proofs, post-quantum cryptography, the formal verification of cryptographic systems, and distributed systems. We write papers, release open-source code, and work with protocols to take these ideas from research into production.

We believe privacy is a human right, and that it should be normal on the internet. We take on open problems in zero knowledge and cryptography, and we build production systems that make private use the default. 0xSubRosa takes funding only from grants and donations.

Research agenda

Three areas we are reading into. We have not picked the first one yet.

post-quantum

What does a hash based signature cost to verify inside a CKB lock script? PLACEHOLDER

exploring

formal verification

Can we prove that a ZK toolchain keeps the privacy a developer declared? PLACEHOLDER

exploring

identity

How do credentials stay unlinkable across verifiers on a cell based chain? PLACEHOLDER

Fund or collaborate

If your protocol has an open problem in zero knowledge, tell us about it. Grants are paid into a 2 of 3 multisig that anyone can inspect.
