About ZKP

"As expected, ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) remains a highly sought-after topic. The main stage at SBC discussed two latest folding solutions, HyperNova and Protostar, as well as the future directions of STARKs.

The Stanford Blockchain Club's Blockchain Applications Stanford Summit (BASS) also showcased various ZKP projects:

- ZKRU: zkSync, StarkWare.
- Verifiable Computation: Nexus.
- ZKML: Modulus Labs.
- Bridges: Succinct.
- Development Tools/RAAS (Reliability as a Service): IronMill, Caldera.
- Privacy: Aztec, Nocturne, Hinkal Protocol.

In fact, there are more ZKP projects focusing on specific verticals, reflecting a ""division of labor"" based on their respective strengths to support complex functionalities more effectively. Apart from ZKP-related discussions, I also met several ZKP researchers at Stanford. This is an optimistic sign for the technical growth and innovation of ZKP, and we may see more academic breakthroughs in the future. So, ZKP will continue to grow and mature."
