Yuki Yuminaga, an analyst and expert in zero-knowledge computing, talks about zero-knowledge proof (ZKP), an emerging cryptographic primitive that allows proving the validity of certain information without disclosing it. ZKP can compress data and verify the validity of data, making it valuable in the crypto and non-crypto space.

What is ZKP and how does it work?

• ZKP is the application of polynomial functions to prove the validity of information.
• It allows verification of information that is not known, by extrapolating data with just a few points.
• ZKP compresses data and verifies the validity of data.
• ZKP roll-up projects are using ZKP in the form of ZK VM or ZEVM to focus on network scaling.
