ZKP architecture refers to the structural design of systems that use Zero-Knowledge Proofs for verifiable, private computations. This architecture comprises the cryptographic primitives, protocols, and software components that enable one party to prove the truth of a statement to another without disclosing any additional information. It typically involves a prover, a verifier, and a set of mathematical algorithms to construct and validate the proofs. The design aims to optimize for proof size, generation time, and verification speed, balancing security with practical applicability in decentralized environments.
Context
ZKP architecture is a rapidly evolving field, with news frequently covering new constructions and their applications in scaling blockchains and enhancing privacy for digital assets. Debates often concern the trade-offs between different ZKP types, such as SNARKs and STARKs, regarding trust assumptions, computational costs, and quantum resistance. The ongoing development seeks to make ZKP technology more accessible and efficient for a broader array of decentralized applications.
A streaming prover architecture reframes proof generation as tree evaluation, reducing ZKP memory from linear to square-root scaling for widespread adoption.
