Zero-knowledge proofs a breakthrough for Web3 privacy
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) allow you to verify information without revealing it, transforming privacy and security in Web3.
By Zuko Wilcox on
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) are a game-changer for privacy in Web3. They enable users to prove something is true without revealing any extra data.
Why ZKPs Matter
With ZKPs, Web3 applications can:
- Verify credentials privately (e.g., prove you’re over 18 without showing your birthdate).
- Improve blockchain scalability through ZK-Rollups.
- Enhance security by reducing exposure of sensitive data.
Projects like zkSync, Polygon zkEVM, and Aztec Network are leveraging ZKPs to make Web3 more private and scalable.
