Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)

A class of mathematical functions that allow someone to prove they know something about a hidden value without revealing that value.

Bulletproofs, Bulletproofs++, zk-STARKS, and zk-SNARKS are all examples of different ZKP techniques. Each offers different trade-offs and has distinct advantages and disadvantages. There is no one-size-fits-all ZKP solution.

A prover holding a locked secret exchanges messages with a verifier, who returns an accept or reject result without learning the secret itself
