  The earliest implementations of ZK were direct translations of research papers into low-level libraries. A good example is libsnark, which was used to create Zcash. The need for generalization soon led to the creation of zkDSLs (domain-specific languages) like Circom, Noir, and ZoKrates. These are languages designed for building zk circuits. Meanwhile, libraries like Halo2 and Plonky2 emerged, focusing on providing zk capabilities within existing languages like Rust.

  One of the applications are ZK-Rollups [1] which allow developers to move heavy computation off a blockchain. The blockchain receives the results and only validates proofs that they are valid. This is especially useful on Ethereum because its computational throughput is pretty low.

  There's also ZCash [2], which is a cryptocurrency that lets you make untraceable transactions. This is in stark contrast to Bitcoin or Ethereum, where transaction information is available publicly to everyone. They have a series of blog posts [3] on the math that actually makes it work under the hood.

  is there a reason why the z.cash site doesnt have a simple countdown page? or the ECC blog? your technical solution sounds great but it fails against the misinformation that people create by making their own webpage with an incorrect countdown :(

• Top 5 Privacy Coins & Projects with Massive Potential for 2023-2025

  Zcash https://z.cash/ is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that provides privacy through the use of zero-knowledge proofs. ZEC also provides the option of transparency, making it a versatile choice for users who value privacy and transparency.

• What's a Zero-Knowledge Proof?
  1 project | dev.to | 9 Sep 2022

  Definitely not! The first article on the topic is from 1985, when cryptocurrencies were far from being a trending topic. However, this assumption is based on the fact that associating zero-knowledge proofs with blockchain technology can create a privacy-protecting, secure and decentralised environment. ZCash was the pioneer cryptocurrency to bring this technology to blockchains. Today, in addition to it, there are other alternatives such as Horizen (ZEN) and, recently, Tron (TRX) has added this functionality to its platform. They are all small networks – Tron, the biggest of them, only ranks 17th in market cap among all Cryptos – but its potential is great.
