What are zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs? They are both zero-knowledge proofs, but what are their properties and how do they compare to each other?

If you are an investor, you would probably invest in a zk Layer2 project in the Ethereum ecosystem a few years ago. This year, many zk projects have launched tokens on the mainnet, and many ugly daughters-in-law have finally met their parents-in-law.

ZK-Rollup, Outlook for the Rollup Ecosystem in 2025: ZK technology will usher in a critical moment. Golden Finance, Ethereum-based Rollup will receive more attention.

Recently, Citrea, the first Bitcoin Layer-2 project that claims to adopt the ZK-Rollup solution, has received questions from the community as it is about to launch its testnet.

The blockchain we are in is entering a new "Cloud Era" from the "Server Era" represented by Ethereum and Solana.

There is a key difference between TEE and ZK: TEE requires a third-party trusted party.

Golden Finance launches Golden Web3.0 Daily to provide you with the latest and fastest news on games, DeFi, DAO, NFT and Metaverse industries.

How OP Succinct transformed Optimism's OP Stack into zero-knowledge proof (ZK Rollup) to improve Ethereum's scalability and efficiency.

The governments of Australia, Palau, Argentina and Estonia are experimenting with different forms of decentralized identity solutions.

The main function of OP Succinct is to integrate ZKP into the modular architecture of OP Stack, converting OP Stack Rollups into fully verified ZK Rollups.

The delta network is a network of networks that shares a global state and is locally customizable, addressing the sovereignty and interoperability of applications through zk settlement.

Pencils Protocol is the leading DeFi protocol in the Scroll ecosystem, providing a complete suite of DeFi solutions designed to increase the value and utility of the Scroll Network built on breakthrough ZK technology.

The next direction may be to integrate and develop with the Rollup paradigm, acting as a wingman to provide Rollup with DA, shared sequencers, high-security oracles, unified cross-domain liquidity, ZK coprocessors and other services.

Solana’s mainchain is undergoing a series of innovations, including zk-compression, scintillation, token scaling, Firedancer, and decoupling of SVM. These advances are driving speculative growth, attracting developers, and driving the next phase of scaling.
