Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic methods that allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself. They are fundamental to enhancing privacy and scalability in blockchain systems. These proofs ensure data integrity without disclosing sensitive details.
