About Electron Labs
Electron Labs is building a protocol to make various blockchains interoperable. Our goal is to enable cross-chain contracts to connect with each other in the same way as same-chain contracts connect i.e., via function calls. We have developed a new in-house tech called Bi-Directional Light Client that allows a smart contract to independently verify whether the cross-chain transactions submitted to it are valid. We further use ZK-SNARKS to reduce the gas cost of running the light client on-chain.

Desired Qualifications
Must Have’s
- In-depth understanding of Number Theory, Discrete Mathematics, and Cryptography.
- Deep knowledge of basic cryptographic algorithms such as SHA-3, elliptical curve cryptography.
Good to Have’s
- Mathematical understanding of zero-knowledge proofs.
- Previous experience with any zero-knowledge developer tools like zokrates, circom-snarkjs, or any other is highly preferred and sought after.
- A general understanding of blockchains and preferably some work.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Implement various cryptographic algorithms such as SHA-3, ED25519 signatures, etc in Circom language (Domain Specific Language for Zero-knowledge).
- You will be assigned one blockchain (Ethereum /Polygon /NEAR /tendermint /Polkadot/Aleo). You will be required to implement the light client of this blockchain in Circom language
- Maintain zk-prover infrastructure (cloud machine and codebase)
- Write kickass documentation.
Electron Labs focuses on Technology and Blockchains. Their company has offices in Gurgaon and New Delhi. They have a small team that's between 11-50 employees. To date, Electron Labs has raised $500k of funding; their latest round was closed on February 2022.
You can view their website at https://electronlabs.org/ or find them on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Product Hunt.
What is Zero-knowledge?
Zero-knowledge is a concept in cryptography that allows two parties to exchange information without revealing any additional information beyond what is necessary to prove a particular fact
In other words, zero-knowledge is a way of proving something without actually revealing any details about the proof
Here are some examples of zero-knowledge:
- Password authentication: When you enter your password to log into an online account, the server doesn't actually know your password. Instead, it checks to see if the hash of your password matches the stored hash in its database. This is a form of zero-knowledge because the server doesn't know your actual password, just the hash that proves you know the correct password.
- Sudoku puzzles: Suppose you want to prove to someone that you've solved a particularly difficult Sudoku puzzle. You could do this by providing them with the completed puzzle, but that would reveal how you solved it. Instead, you could use a zero-knowledge proof where you demonstrate that you know the solution without actually revealing the solution itself.
- Bitcoin transactions: In a Bitcoin transaction, you prove that you have ownership of a certain amount of Bitcoin without revealing your private key. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof called a Schnorr signature, which allows you to prove ownership of a specific transaction output without revealing the private key associated with that output.
- Secure messaging: In a secure messaging app, you can prove to your contacts that you have access to a shared secret without revealing the secret itself. This is done using a zero-knowledge proof, which allows you to prove that you have access to the secret without actually revealing what the secret is.
