4️⃣ Today’s Quick Lesson: What Is a Zero-Knowledge Proof?
🔸 What is a zero-knowledge proof?
▪ A zero-knowledge proof (Zero-Knowledge Proof, ZK) is a cryptographic technique that can prove that something is true without disclosing the specific information content.
🔸 Let’s take an example
▪ A user can prove that they meet certain eligibility requirements without revealing their full identity information.
▪ It’s like proving “I’m over 18,” without showing all the name, address, and birthday on the ID card.
🔸 What is it used for in blockchain?
▪ Privacy protection: reduces exposure of sensitive data.
▪ Layer 2 scaling: a large number of transactions can be processed off-chain, then a ZK Proof is used to prove to the main chain that the results are correct.
▪ Identity verification: proves eligibility without disclosing all personal information.
