It was our pleasure to take part in the judging of the latest [zkHack](https://www.zkmontreal.com/) competition. An annual hackathon spanning a weekend (in Montreal this time) that brings together developers, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore the latest in zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-enhancing technologies.

The results of the competition and a write up of the event can be found [here](https://zkhack.dev/2024/09/02/zk-hack-montreal/).

> The projects that came out of this edition showcased the versatility and potential of ZK proofs in enhancing privacy in various applications, as well as solving real-world problems, exploring insanely creative new use cases like ZK breathalyzers, ZK & GPS and many more! 

We were impressed to see what hackers came up with and are looking forward to the next edition!
