The Future of ZK Applications - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2023
Explore the promising advancements and future potential of Zero Knowledge (ZK) applications in this insightful talk from TOKEN2049 Singapore 2023. Delve into the transformative impact of ZK beyond its well-known uses in privacy transactions and rollups, unveiling developments in three core areas: privacy-preserving machine learning, incremental verifiable computation, and compression.
The session highlights the significant strides made in privacy-preserving machine learning, where recent advances enable the generation of ZK proofs for complex models like GPT-2 in just minutes. Witness how incremental verifiable computation enhances efficiency by reducing the need for computationally intensive processes, while succinctness in rollups allows representation of multiple transactions in a constant-size object, facilitating seamless transaction processing and authentication.
Key insights include the potential for auditability in ZK applications, enabling the identification of inaccuracies beyond mere verification, as exemplified in verifiable auctions. The discussion extends to the importance of compression in ZK, essential for the advancement of Defi applications and autonomous worlds where on-chain interactions mimic those of web2 experiences, thanks to the reduced overhead of light clients and innovative gameplay models.
The talk underscores the transformative capability of ZK in creating seamless on-chain and off-chain experiences, enabling stakeholders to appreciate applications beyond traditional use cases. Engage with these cutting-edge ideas that redefine the intersection of cryptography and technology.
