Zero Knowledge, Infinite Trust: The Evolution and Revolution of Blockchain Technology
An eye-opening discussion of how to apply new blockchain technologies to realize our digital potential
In Zero Knowledge, Infinite Trust, pioneering cryptographer, blockchain innovator, and the co-inventor of the STARK cryptographic system, Eli Ben-Sasson, delivers a deeply insightful discussion of the fundamental values and mathematical foundations on which society’s technological backbone will be built. Skipping the speculative frenzy and political manifestos that characterize much of the popular discussion in blockchain, Ben-Sasson reveals how blockchain’s greatest promise lies in humanity’s timeless pursuit of integrity and trust in digital interactions.
The book explains how Zero Knowledge Proofs and STARK technology are solving critical challenges that have prevented truly decentralized networks from achieving mass adoption. It demonstrates how to use these tools to protect privacy, secure personal data and digital identities, ensure election integrity, and address other contemporary threats to safety, security, and wellbeing.
Inside the book:
-A discussion of current technological development in the context of a broader historical context, drawing original insights into how digital trust is evolving today
-An exploration of how mathematical certainty can replace institutional authority
-An up-to-date guide to using powerful blockchain technologies to reshape fundamental structures
Perfect for tech professionals and enthusiasts concerned about digital privacy, corporate power, and the future of technology, Zero Knowledge, Infinite Trust offers a compelling new perspective on how to achieve the digital future we were all promised and have yet to realize.

About the author
Eli Ben-Sasson
2 books4 followersEli Ben-Sasson is a mathematician and blockchain innovator. He developed the mathematical theory that enables blockchain to serve a mass audience and was among the first to demonstrate that Zero Knowledge cryptography brings scale and privacy to blockchains. Eli is co-inventor of several foundational cryptographic protocols: STARK, FRI, and Zerocash.
He was a co-founder and founding scientist of Zcash, and is co-founder, CEO, and Chairman of StarkWare. He sits on the board of the Starknet Foundation, the nonprofit driving adoption of Starknet, a permissionless blockchain aiming to expand the Bitcoin economy.
Eli has published dozens of peer-reviewed academic papers in the field of theoretical computer science, held research positions at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Harvard, MIT, and Technion, where he was a Professor of Computer Science. He is a married father of five.
