On May 12th 2025, the sun was shining in Toronto, Canada, as we hosted zkSummit13 — bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from across the zero-knowledge ecosystem. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person for another full day of technical presentations, project updates, and community discussion!
This edition of zkSummit took place at Hart House, a spectacular venue on the University of Toronto campus. Past students of U of T included some speakers, attendees, and even Anna (!) so it was a truly special to bring the core community of ZK together here. The talks ranged from long-form technical talks, hands-on workshops, and lightning talks—offering deep insights into emerging ideas and ongoing work within the ZK space in 2025. To read up on some initial takeaways from participants, check out these posts here, here and here!
We are especially thankful to all the sponsors and attendees who continue to make this event possible. A special thanks to our Gold sponsors RISC Zero and Aleo, our Silver sponsors Stoffel and Polygon and Community sponsors Celestia, NovaNet, TACEO, Miden, Reilabs, Aztec and Horizen.
The livestream of the main stage is available to watch now, and all talks will be added to our YouTube channel over the next week or so. If you didn’t get a chance to join us this time, you can catch up here.
