Introduction to Schnorr Signatures

Private-public key pairs are the cornerstone of much of the cryptographic security underlying everything from secure web browsing to banking to cryptocurrencies.

Introduction to Scriptless Scripts

Scriptless Scripts are a means to execute smart contracts off-chain, through the use of Schnorr signatures.

Amortization of Bulletproofs Inner-product Proof

One of the main attractions of blockchains is the idea of trustlessness.
