LIVE HACKS: Build ZK dApps with Noir & Ink! | Into the Blocks

Summary

In a live "Live Hacks" session, host Sasha Lansky introduced the Sub‑Zero hackathon and demonstrated how developers can combine Aztec's Noir zero‑knowledge language with Polkadot's ink! smart contracts. Guest developer Lynette explained that recent ink! updates now allow an Ink contract to call a Solidity verifier, enabling seamless integration of Noir circuits into Polkadot dApps. The demo built an anonymous voting application, showcasing privacy‑preserving functionality and highlighting resources such as the Polkadot forum for staying current. The discussion emphasized the growing accessibility of ZK tooling and its relevance for upcoming hackathon bounties.
