ZK Circuit Design

Definition

ZK circuit design is the specialized process of constructing the mathematical computations that form the basis of zero-knowledge proofs, specifically for use within a SNARK or STARK system. This involves expressing a computational problem as an arithmetic circuit, which can then be efficiently proven and verified without revealing the underlying inputs. Precise and secure ZK circuit design is paramount for ensuring the correctness, efficiency, and privacy guarantees of zero-knowledge applications. Errors here can compromise the entire proof.
