July 2, 2021

Zokyo joined to discuss the recent publication of the Offshift Yellowpaper, and we took your questions.

On our most recent AMA & Community Call, cryptographers Oleksandr Boxling and Victoria Grasshopper, and Project Manager Vitalii Odnovol of Zokyo joined us to discuss the recent publication of the Offshift Yellowpaper.

We started the call with a few community updates:

Then we dove into the Yellowpaper with Zokyo’s team and answered:

  • What is the Offshift protocol?
  • Why are we planning to use Bulletproofs instead of other zk options?
  • Why is the Hybrid Account-based Model/UTXO implementation imperative for the Offshift Protocol?
  • What are the Account Based Model features?
  • What are Range Proofs and why are they important to this project?
  • The Schnorr ID Scheme: what does it mean and why does it matter for Offshift?
  • Shielding contracts: what are they and do other privacy projects use them?

We also gave a brief overview of Offshift’s new Roadmap, and the timing for pilot, production release, and MVP. Read the Offshift Yellowpaper and Mainnet Development Roadmap on our website.

Then we dove into the AMA:
