zkSNARK Protocol

Definition

A zkSNARK Protocol is a type of zero-knowledge proof system that enables a party to prove possession of certain information without revealing the information itself, and without any interaction with the verifier after an initial setup. The proofs generated are remarkably short and can be verified very quickly, regardless of the complexity of the statement being proven. This cryptographic primitive offers strong privacy guarantees and significant scalability advantages for decentralized applications. It relies on advanced mathematical constructions.
