ZK-SNARK Algorithm: What is it?

OVERVIEW Cryptocurrency transactions are decentralized and anonymous. They may still be traced, though, because the blockchain makes them publicly accessible. Because cryptocurrency transactions are public, users that value privacy tend to steer clear of them. The technology known as ZK-SNARK, or Zero Knowledge Successive Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge, allows users to maintain the privacy of their transactions. It enables users to demonstrate that they possess particular information without disclosing it. The ZK-SNARK protocol is a component of the well-known cryptocurrency Zcash. The blog will provide information about ZK-SNARK, a privacy-focused zero-knowledge proof system, including examples and its operation. ZK-SNARK: What...
