Things To Remember
- A zero-knowledge proof proves knowledge of a secret without revealing the secret.
- ZK proofs are used in ZK-rollups to verify transaction batches with minimal data.
- zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs are the two main ZK proof systems used in crypto.
- ZK technology enables both privacy and scalability improvements for blockchains.
