Ethereum scaling protocols drive zero-knowledge proof use in 2023
Ethereum scaling remains the primary use case behind zero-knowledge proofs according to a report from ZKValidator. Ethereum (ETH) scaling protocols are dominating the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups, with major launches, new research and healthy competition key points in a sector report published by ZK Validator. The node infrastructure operator’s “State of ZK Q2” report reflects on significant events across the ZK ecosystem, with notable launches of ZK-powered layer 2's highlighting the use of the technology on scaling in comparison to other market segments. ZK-proofs use cryptography to allow one party to prove to another party that certain information is correct, without revealing any data. They present a solution to trust and privacy in digital environments and have been pivotal in scaling layer-1 blockchain protocols . A poll put out to some 18,000 followers of the Zero Knowledge Podcast provided the sample for a community gauge on the most important applications of ZK-...
