🧑‍🏫 time: zkAssets

Why did @MantaNetwork create #zkAssets, and what are they?

zkAssets are natively (on-chain) private crypto assets, guarded by zero-knowledge proofs. They contain all properties of normal crypto assets, and add a layer of configurable privacy. Some properties: Image
🤸 Flexible Asset Types

zkAssets can be any asset type: fungible (eg tokens), non-fungible (eg #NFTs), and non-transferrable non-fungible (eg #soulbound)
🔒 Private by Default

The asset holder’s address, the nomination of the assets of each holder, and asset type are all natively encrypted on-chain, only to be seen if the holder chooses to show.

🤔 Why do Zero-Knowledge Proofs Matter?

A Zero-Knowledge Proof (#ZKP) has evolved from an idea in GMR’s paper 20 years ago to a technology that empowers many Web3 companies.

Why is it so important and why is @MantaNetwork betting on it? Here’s a thread:
In cryptography, encryption is a process of converting plaintext (readable text) into ciphertext (unreadable text). #ZKP, however, is a higher-level encryption on computation. It’s like proving you know 3+5=8 without revealing how.
Why do we need #ZKP in #Web3? Blockchain builds trust through a distributed-ledger system with nodes/computers around the world repeatedly racing to solve the same computations. That’s why consensus is so expensive.
