過去的一年見證了
零知識(shí)(ZK)技術(shù)的
崛起。
從其在 Web3 領(lǐng)域增加和保護(hù)隱私協(xié)議的潛力,到驗(yàn)證交易的效率的提高,該技術(shù)的實(shí)施正在進(jìn)一步鞏固區(qū)塊鏈的發(fā)展和融入我們的日常生活。
它在提高效率方面的作用一直占據(jù)中心舞臺(tái),因?yàn)?zk 證明允許在交易中進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)批處理,降低處理信息的計(jì)算要求以及存儲(chǔ)在區(qū)塊鏈網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的數(shù)據(jù)量。
這意味著引入業(yè)界一直非常缺乏的無需信任的可擴(kuò)展性機(jī)制。 確保其作為新的廣泛接受的驗(yàn)證協(xié)議的地位的附加組件是處理這些數(shù)據(jù)的固有能力,而不需要添加任何不必要的信息,從而加強(qiáng)了區(qū)塊鏈固有的隱私框架。
為了標(biāo)志著對(duì)這一潛力的承諾和認(rèn)可,以太坊和其他作為行業(yè)支柱的 Layer 1 平臺(tái)正在通過 ZK 技術(shù)的實(shí)施向結(jié)算和證明驗(yàn)證過渡。 隨著第 1 層集成該技術(shù),我們即將看到全行業(yè)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化。 通過通過更強(qiáng)大的驗(yàn)證來保護(hù) Web3 空間(這是一個(gè)迫切需要解決的問題),這種轉(zhuǎn)變有可能鞏固該行業(yè)的基礎(chǔ),并為其一直缺乏的廣泛采用鋪平道路。
去中心化:好處和障礙
ZK 技術(shù)承擔(dān)了克服去中心化挑戰(zhàn)的作用,即在當(dāng)前解決方案中創(chuàng)建集中式驗(yàn)證中心,以及需要高效的系統(tǒng)來讓人們輕松訪問額外的鏈。
隨著 Web3 空間的發(fā)展,重點(diǎn)是更廣泛的去中心化系統(tǒng)敘述,保持這種狀態(tài),并強(qiáng)調(diào)應(yīng)用程序分片的未來對(duì)互操作性的需求。 更廣泛的行業(yè)致力于建立抵制審查制度且不受私人實(shí)體控制的系統(tǒng)的承諾是顯而易見的。 在應(yīng)對(duì)當(dāng)前 Rollup 解決方案的復(fù)雜性時(shí),Zk-rollups 占據(jù)了中心位置,通過更強(qiáng)大的驗(yàn)證提供一流的安全保證,并仍然保持隱私功能。
The dynamic interplay of scalability and privacy is a central theme in this transformation. Innovations such as Risc0, Gnark, ZK building tools, and pairing-friendly cryptography have facilitated the building and application of ZK technology. While ZK tools are becoming easier to build and integrate, masternodes and keeper-based infrastructure, additional privacy-focused mechanisms, are undergoing a paradigm shift towards ZK, and hardware acceleration projects like cysic.xyz, promise performance levels akin to Solana.
These advancements address scalability challenges by combining the best of vertical scalability with the security properties of horizontal scalability.
Lastly, ZK tech has also proven to strengthen bridges between layers, an imperative for interoperability and future growth. Current bridging systems have quickly led to centralized nodes, not only creating dramatic security vulnerabilities, but potentially curbing the future free access to applications, assets, and ecosystems, core industry components that should not be subject to control by private entities.
An additional promising solution is represented by Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC). The commitment to decentralization is not only a technical endeavor but also a philosophical stance, and we should strive to ensure that anyone can participate in the network.
Privacy takes center stage as a core value in the evolution of ZK technology. As a security measure, further verification methods have been needed to stymie the rampant hacks across the Web3 industry.
Currently, this means limiting the privacy of each party involved. With ZK proofs, entities can issue the verification before any transfers, providing only key data points to validate the transaction. In concrete terms, this would be like validating a company’s creditworthiness without opening up its entire financials.
The commitment to privacy is not just a philosophical stance in blockchain; it’s a practical necessity. Privacy is depicted as a countermeasure to malicious Miner Extractable Value (MEV), a process where miners validate transactions for a fee, thus ensuring fair and competitive markets.
Specific projects like Penumbra, Anoma, and Nym exemplify the importance of privacy. In a world where privacy is compromised, the potential for exclusion and censorship looms large, emphasizing ZK Proofs’ pivotal role in ensuring a robust and inclusive Web3 landscape.
The retrospective glance at 2023 showcases the strides made by ZK technology, with projects like Nova, Lasso, and Jolt leaving an indelible mark on the Web3 ecosystem. These projects have made building and integrating ZK Proofs into existing systems easier.
然而,它也揭示了行業(yè)面臨的挑戰(zhàn),例如可靠的可擴(kuò)展性、安全的互操作性、中心化系統(tǒng)的潛力,以及在我們的日常生活中建立 Web3 需要做的工作。
展望 2024 年,隨著 DeFi 系統(tǒng)、加密貨幣交易和跨鏈 dApp 遷移到 ZK 支持的區(qū)塊鏈,我們將看到鏈上活動(dòng)發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變。 越來越多的應(yīng)用程序可能會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)向 zk-tech,利用它來實(shí)現(xiàn)更高效的空投以及更加私密和安全的交易。 全行業(yè)的承諾對(duì)于克服當(dāng)今區(qū)塊鏈領(lǐng)域的去中心化挑戰(zhàn)至關(guān)重要。
ZK項(xiàng)目的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者應(yīng)優(yōu)先考慮教育和工具; 考慮到 ZK 技術(shù)的技術(shù)開銷較高,我們必須為開發(fā)人員提供易于使用的工具,將 ZK 技術(shù)融入到他們的項(xiàng)目中,并提供教育資源和支持來指導(dǎo)他們完成這一過程。
希望為不可避免的 zk 驅(qū)動(dòng)的未來做好準(zhǔn)備的項(xiàng)目可以通過與現(xiàn)有的 zk 項(xiàng)目合作并共同將該技術(shù)實(shí)施到現(xiàn)有模型中來實(shí)現(xiàn)。
2023 年是變革的一年,突顯了 ZK 技術(shù)在 DeFi、加密貨幣和增強(qiáng)去中心化方面的影響力貢獻(xiàn)。 即使面對(duì)持續(xù)的市場挑戰(zhàn),開發(fā)人員的樂觀態(tài)度及其在塑造 2024 年 ZK 技術(shù)未來中所扮演的角色也是顯而易見的。 這是一種樂觀情緒,源于對(duì) Web3 下一步的預(yù)期,以及 ZK Proofs 現(xiàn)在提供的潛在潛力,將行業(yè)推入規(guī)模和發(fā)展的新時(shí)代。
