Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)
A cryptographic method that proves something is true without revealing the underlying information.
Explained Simply
Zero-knowledge proofs let one party prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the truth of the statement itself. In crypto, ZKPs enable privacy (proving you have funds without revealing how much) and scaling (ZK-rollups batch transactions and prove validity without re-executing them). ZK-rollups like zkSync and Starknet use this technology to scale Ethereum. ZKPs are one of the most important cryptographic innovations driving blockchain forward.
