There’re two participants in #zkps: provers and verifiers. Provers provide ‘proofs’ of a statement, and verifiers verify it without giving additional information.
#ZKP is encryption on computation. After the encryption, a cryptography proof of the correctness or validity of the computation will be generated. It is this cryptography proof that allows a border Zero-knowledge application.
Let’s continue our #WhyZK series:
In our last thread, we used a Sudoku game to explain some terms and the properties of ZK. In this thread, we’ll keep using Sudoku to explain the concept of Interactive Proof and Non-Interactive Proof.

Dr. Strange proved that he could solve a Sudoku puzzle without telling Hulk how he solved it. The next day, Hulk said, 'Why don't we live stream the game online?' Dr. Strange thought it was a great idea, so they started a Youtube channel and asked Iron Man to join as ops manager.
Their channel soon drew many followers. One day, Dr. Strange forgot the solution to the puzzle right before live streaming. He had nothing to do but tell Hulk to fake the verification process with him. Iron Man, after witnessing this, was disappointed at this behavior.
#WhyZK continued:
This thread is the first part of the “Simple explanation of Zero-Knowledge Proof” series. In this series, we’ll try our best to explain concepts and terms related to zero-knowledge proof in a Sudoku example that’s easy to understand.
This thread is the first part of the “Simple explanation of Zero-Knowledge Proof” series. In this series, we’ll try our best to explain concepts and terms related to zero-knowledge proof in a Sudoku example that’s easy to understand.
In classic Sudoku, we play it on a grid of 9x9 space. There will be nine boxes made up of 3x3 spaces. Each box, each column, and each row should be filled out with numbers from 1 to 9 exactly once each.
Both Doctor Strange and Hulk love playing the Sudoku game.

Dr. Strange challenges Hulk with a hard Sudoku puzzle. ‘This is so hard. Does it have a solution?’ Hulk asks. ‘Yes, I already figured it out.’ Dr. Strange wants to prove that he knows how to solve the puzzle w/o letting Hulk see the answer. This is the ‘zero-knowledge’ proof.
In this thread, let's talk about #whyZK matters and why ZK will be one of the main narratives in the next cycle #WhyZK
At @EFDevcon, more than 20% of talks were about ZK. @RaeWrh summarized here docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

During the @VitalikButerin's ZK talk on day 1 of Devcon, @VitalikButerin emphasized that ZK is the preferred scaling method for blockchain. The censorship-resistant feature that blockchain provides sacrificed ‘scalability’ and ‘privacy:’ this is where ZK-SNARKs fit in.
#ZKP is getting lots of traction from VCs. VCs are paying more attention to ZKP projects, making large investments in ZKP technology with high expectations of its future. A ZKP project can raise $10m, and many of the ZKP projects have a valuation of more than $100m.

数独，一种数字游戏，玩家需要在空格内，任意填上 1-9 ，使每一行、每一列、每个粗线格（33格）内的数字，均包含 1-9，且不重复。
奇异博士和绿巨人很喜欢玩数独。

有天，奇异博士给绿巨人出了一道很难的数独，把绿巨人难住了。
绿巨人觉得这题可能根本无解。但博士有办法，在不让绿巨人知道解的前提下，让他相信有解。
这就是零知识证明的原理。
博士拿出 81 张牌，按照解法摆好，把“答案”翻过去，只让题面卡牌朝上。

打算开个Threads连载，讲讲 #WhyZK？
先从为什么要关注零知识证明ZK赛道，以及为什么ZK会是下一个周期主要叙事之一说起。
@RaeWrh 统计了波哥大 @EFDevcon 主论坛及其他Panel话题情况。ZK相关占比最高，超20%，其中ZK应用、工具、扩容是大家最关心的话题。

波哥大首日，V神参与《What to know about Zero Knowledge》（关于零知识证明该知道些什么）圆桌讨论说到，“我认为 ZK 天然是区块链的补充。区块链提供的抗审查特性，是以牺牲掉‘可扩展性’和‘隐私性’为代价的。而 ZK-SNARKs 则是为这两种属性量身订做的技术。”

其次，资本关注度高。资本对该赛道预期较高，零知识证明项目动辄千万美元级别以上融资，大部分项目估值过亿美元。若从投资回报的角度看，换句话说，资本看好未来该赛道会出现几十亿美元，甚至百亿美元的项目。
