zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs: Disrupting Verifiable Computation
zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs: Disrupting Verifiable Computation Explore how these #ZeroKnowledge protocols SURPASS the #EVM's model, opening a world of possibilities for #Web3 applications Deep dive ARTICLE Let's unravel the key insights
🤔 What makes a computation VERIFIABLE? ✅ In zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs, provers generate proofs of computations, while verifiers check their correctness 🔒 This model supports PRIVATE inputs, unlike the EVM 🌍 It's not limited to blockchain - zkLocus showcases off-chain use cases
🚀 zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs offer a Constant Verifiable Computational Model (CVCM) ⚡ Verification time is CONSTANT - O(1), regardless of computation complexity 💡 Contrast this with the EVM's Linear VCM (LVCM), where verification grows LINEARLY with instructions - O(n)
🤯 The implications are MASSIVE! 🧪 Mina Protocol blockchain and it's native token $MINA operate on this architecture 📍zkLocus leverages this technology to turn geolocation into a RWA, by enabling private, verifiable and programmable geolocation sharing
♾️ The recursive nature of zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs enables INFINITE SCALABILITY 🌿 Imagine compressing 1000s of computations into a SINGLE proof ⏰ Verification time remains ~CONSTANT 💰 Gas costs are DRASTICALLY reduced 🔥 This is the power of ZKP! 🔥 Mina Protocol blockchain aces it 💪
🔍 Let's examine how zkLocus leverages Mina's zkSNARK-based architecture 🌍 Geolocation data becomes a trustless, programmable Real World Asset (RWA) 🌉 zkLocus proofs can be used cross-chain or even off-chain 🎯 It's an "app-specific rollup" on Mina, focusing on its own logic
⏳ Time complexity comparison: EVM vs. zkSNARKs/zkSTARKs 🧮 Execution: EVM is faster due to simple VM emulation 🔍 Verification: ZK proofs shine with constant O(1) vs. EVM's linear O(n) 💡 This is why ZK L2 solutions are BOOMING on Ethereum!
🌍 But the potential of zkSNARKs & zkSTARKs goes BEYOND blockchain! 🏥 zkSafeZones: Safeguarding civilians in warzones: ⚖️ Automated on-chain legal compliance 👁️ Privacy-preserving AI surveillance 🧪 Built on zkLocus + Mina Protocol blockchain ⛑️ Proposing to UN and ICRC
🔐 The era of PRIVATE, VERIFIABLE, PROGRAMMABLE and TRUSTLESS computation is upon us! 👇 https://illya.sh/blog/posts/zksnark-zkstark-verifiable-computation-model-blockchain/
🧠 Adapting to the ZK mindset takes time, but the rewards are IMMENSE 💡 As I discovered building zkLocus, every challenge sparks innovation 🌟 Soon, you'll be engineering groundbreaking solutions effortlessly 🚀 The future of Web3 is BRIGHT with ZeroKnowledge! 🔐🌐💻
