Current 2025 Roadmap: Quant Finance + ZK-Proofs Mastery

This repo is my public commitment: by December 2025, I will understand and apply both

  • Quantitative Finance (stochastic processes, risk, modeling)
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs (zk-SNARKs, zk-STARKs, cryptographic protocols)

so I can fuse them into real blockchain + trading applications.


🎯 Core Goals

  1. Build strong foundations in probability, stochastic calculus, and risk concepts.
  2. Learn the algebra + finite field math that underpins zk-proofs.
  3. Implement at least one mini zk-app (proof-of-funds or private voting).
  4. Publish 2–3 GitHub projects blending quant + crypto.

📆 Month-by-Month Plan

September 2025 – Groundwork

  • 📖 MIT Quant Finance Lectures (playlist) – focus on probability, regression, risk basics
  • 📘 Text: Probability for Finance (Sheldon Ross / Shreve notes optional)
  • 🧮 Exercises: probability distributions, conditional expectation
  • 🛠️ Project: Repo setup → notes/, exercises/, summaries/ folders

October 2025 – Bridge Math

  • 📖 Topics: Linear Algebra review, Finite Fields, Group Theory
  • 📘 Text: A Computational Introduction to Number Theory and Algebra (Victor Shoup)
  • 🛠️ Code mini-labs: implement finite field operations in Python
  • ✍️ Write blog #1: “Why zk-proofs need algebra (explained for builders)”

November 2025 – Cryptography Core

  • 📖 Study zk-SNARK primer + ZK-STARK overview (Vitalik, Ariel Gabizon, StarkWare papers)
  • 📘 Resource: Zero-Knowledge Proofs: An Illustrated Primer (Matthew Green blog + papers)
  • 🛠️ Hands-on:
    • Build zk-proof toy example using Circom or Halo2
    • Explore a private “proof of funds” circuit
  • ✍️ Blog #2: “From fields to proofs: building my first zk-circuit”

December 2025 – Integration + Showcase

  • 🎯 Goal: Merge quant + zk in one demonstrator project.
  • Example ideas:
    • Private risk model: prove your portfolio VaR without revealing positions.
    • Fair trading bot log: zk-proof that trades followed risk limits.
  • 🛠️ Deliverables:
    • project-final/ repo with full code + README
    • Final write-up: “Quant + ZK: Lessons from my 2025 roadmap”
  • ✍️ Blog #3: Year-in-review on Medium + GitHub

🔧 Tools & Resources

  • Languages: Python (finance), Rust/Solidity (zk & blockchain)
  • Frameworks: Circom, Halo2, Scroll zkEVM testnet
  • References: MIT OCW, Shoup’s book, Shreve’s Stochastic Finance

✅ Accountability

  • Weekly GitHub commits (notes, code, summaries).
  • Monthly blog posts (3 total).
  • Final zk+quant project shipped in December 2025.
