Zero Knowledge Scalability

Definition

Zero knowledge scalability refers to the ability of a blockchain network or protocol to process a high volume of transactions efficiently while maintaining privacy, achieved through the use of zero-knowledge proofs. These cryptographic proofs allow for the verification of transactions without revealing the underlying transaction data, thereby reducing the amount of information that needs to be published on the main chain. This approach significantly enhances throughput and lowers computational demands on the base layer. It addresses both privacy and efficiency concerns simultaneously.
