What Are ZKThreads and How Do They Work?#zkSynk
ZKThreads is a new scaling framework designed to prevent trapped funds and improve the scalability of decentralized applications (DApps) ¹. Here are some key points about how ZKThreads work ²:
- Application logic deployment: The process starts with deploying the application logic into ZKThreads’ app contracts.
- Batching transactions: Instead of handling each transaction individually, ZKThreads group multiple transactions into a single batch.
- Creating proofs: Then, a cryptographic proof called a STARK proof is created to ensure that all transactions in the batch are valid.
- Verification: Next, the STARK proof is sent to the Layer 2 sequencer, where it is verified against the canonical record of the DApp.
- ZKThreads can offer benefits in the form of improved user experience, lower transaction costs, and enhanced security.
