# Vac Deep Research
|
|
|
|
Vac Deep Research is at the forefront of exploration and cutting-edge innovation within the IFT.
|
|
Their work extends beyond scientific publications, actively bridging the gap between theory and practice.
|
|
The team collaborates with various entities, such as Vac R&D units, incubator projects, and IFT projects, to bring their research findings to fruition.
|
|
Part of this effort includes identifying opportunities for and spawning new incubator projects,
|
|
allowing Vac Deep Research to translate their research findings into practical applications within the IFT.
|
|
Deep Research encompasses several key areas, including zero knowledge (ZK), decentralised privacy-preserving node provider networks, validator privacy, and libp2p gossipsub improvements.
|
|
|
|
## Zero-Knowledge Proofs
|
|
|
|
In the realm of ZKP, Vac Deep Research has made contributions that have given rise to the [incubator project](/vips) Nescience.
|
|
The team delved into the intricacies of zero-knowledge proofs, exploring their applications and pushing the boundaries of privacy-preserving technologies.
|
|
By advancing the field of ZK, Vac Deep Research strengthens the foundation for secure and confidential interactions within decentralised networks.
|
|
|
|
## Libp2p Gossipsub Improvements
|
|
|
|
Another area of focus for Vac Deep Research is "libp2p gossipsub improvements".
|
|
The team explores ways to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of the libp2p gossipsub protocol.
|
|
By conducting in-depth research and proposing improvements, Vac Deep Research aims to optimise information sharing and communication within decentralised networks,
|
|
contributing to the overall robustness and scalability of the P2P layers of IFT projects.
|
|
|
|
## Anonymisation Networks
|
|
|
|
Vac also researches anonymisation networks, with the main goal of a libp2p gossipsub anonymisation layer with pluggable project-specific components.
