Loading...Introduction to Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Last quarter, our team discovered that our application's zero-knowledge proof system was causing significant scalability issues. We were using zkSNARKs, which, while effective for small-scale applications, were not suitable for our growing user base. This led us to explore alternative solutions, including zkSTARKs. In this article, I'll share what I learned when comparing these two technologies, including their performance benchmarks and implementation details.
Background on zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs
zkSNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) and zkSTARKs (Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent ARguments of Knowledge) are both zero-knowledge proof systems used to verify the integrity of computations without revealing the underlying data. The primary difference between them lies in their approach to scalability and security.
