Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (ZK-SNARKs) that are designed to handle large-scale computations or high transaction volumes efficiently. These advanced cryptographic proofs enable verification of complex operations without revealing underlying data, while maintaining a constant or polylogarithmic proof size and verification time, regardless of the computation’s complexity. Scalable ZK-SNARKs are critical for addressing the privacy and throughput limitations of many blockchain networks. They allow for verifiable computation off-chain, then only a small proof is posted on-chain.
Context
The pursuit of scalable ZK-SNARKs is a leading area of research and development in blockchain technology, frequently appearing in news related to layer-2 scaling solutions and privacy protocols. Breakthroughs in this field promise to significantly enhance the transaction capacity and confidentiality of decentralized applications, making them viable for a wider range of uses. Ongoing challenges involve optimizing proof generation times and reducing the computational resources required for their implementation.
Orion resolves the super-linear prover bottleneck in zk-SNARKs using a novel code switching technique, enabling practical, high-throughput verifiable computation.
