ZK is Endgame → ZK Everything.
Confirm belief and affirmation, the entire Crypto Native narrative will be fully developed around ZK (zero knowledge proof).Why?
1) The next step of Ethereum Roadmap has clearly pointed to “ZK”, its technical iterations around streamlining consensus strategies and L1 high-performance goals will be developed to implement zkVM.
The iterative demand of the Ethereum ecosystem will inevitably drive the emergence and inversion of a number of ZK infrastructure, attracting a large number of developers and capital investment, and will be the next wave of deterministic direction at the construction level;
2) Leading ZK infrastructure projects such as RiscZero (Boundless), Succinct have successively TGE, making a good start. At the same time, as a leading supplier of ZK proof technology, the breakthrough progress of these projects has verified the feasibility of “Proof as a Service”, and has truly moved from the laboratory concept to commercialization;
In particular, RiscZero’s decentralized proof that networks and scalable off-chain execution capabilities can compress traditional complex computing costs by orders of magnitude (the original 0.01%), or even lower.This qualitative breakthrough in speed, cost and scalability will provide the premise for the explosion of more high-performance DEXs and verifiable AI chains.;
3) The multi-chain environment where everyone wants to issue chains will inevitably lead to the explosion of interoperability, which is perfectly in line with the licenseless and trustless technical characteristics of ZK technology.The more infra, the more complex the interactive environment, the more it can highlight the underlying architecture advantages of ZK technology.
It is a good proof that the specific ZK-Rollup paradigm such as Lighter, which is specially optimized for perpetual contracts, which work in parallel with Prover and Sequencer, can get market attention and reflect strong product strength.
Overall,If ZK in the layer2 era was just shouting the slogan of Endgame, then at the moment when infrastructure and applications are relatively mature, ZK has come to the time to truly prove its value..
