Zero-Knowledge Proofs Going Mainstream
Zero-Knowledge Proofs Going Mainstream
🤫 Trust Math, Not Promises
Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs are transforming from a niche cryptographic tool to mainstream technology. This shift marks an evolution from trusting organizations to be ethical (don't be evil) to having mathematical guarantees of privacy and security (can't be evil).
Key developments:
- ZK proofs now power private transactions across major blockchains
- Layer 2 scaling solutions increasingly rely on ZK technology
- Verifiable computations enable trustless systems
- Enterprise adoption growing in finance and identity verification
The technology enables privacy-preserving transparency - a crucial foundation for web3 infrastructure.
From "don't be evil" to "can't be evil." Zero-knowledge proofs are going mainstream.
Google announces using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) for Digital Identity. We did the world's first rollout w/ @gcba last year. >600k citizens now own marriage licenses, birth certificates, digital id, and driver's licenses. Google is now catching on. blog.google/products/googl…
