In the previous episode regarding proof of loss, I showed the main ideas which shape up my proof of concept (PoC).  In summary, it has three main ingredients: Proof of Loss: proves your ownership with property that you lost. Revocable Property: makes your property possible to come back to you. Decentralized Risk: prevents “all” frauds

Regarding proof of loss, this may be a long story from ideas to a proof of concept. I thought about a kind of recoverable-property decentralized system which makes you confident that losing private key is not a problem anymore. Just like you lose your facebook, you can easily recover it by email or phone number.

Part 1. The ideas behind zkSNARKs: Zero-knowledge proof To start on journey, we need to clear a confusion that a lot of people still make about Zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) and zkSNARKs.
