## 🔍 Deep Dive Highlights
### ✅ Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)
- What ZK-SNARKs and ZK-STARKs are and why they differ
- How ZKPs enable private yet verifiable transactions (e.g., Zcash)
- Broader use in identity, voting, and enterprise compliance
### ⚡ Sharding & Scaling
- Understand the blockchain trilemma: decentralization, security, and scalability
- Explore sharding concepts and how Ethereum’s danksharding solves data-access bottlenecks
### 🔗 Cross‑Chain Interoperability
- Learn how bridges and relays connect multiple blockchains
- Deep dive into Cosmos and Polkadot frameworks for cross-chain communication
- Understand security risks of bridges and how atomic swaps maintain trust
