Introducing the ZK Market Map! We’ve charted 250+ crypto projects advancing zero knowledge (ZK) tech.
This detailed map is an extension of our Crypto Market Map meant to showcase the differences between projects within ZK subsectors.
Why did we make this and why does ZK matter?
ZK and verifiable compute are boosting the scalability of blockchains, increasing trustlessness on the internet, and unlocking new use cases for blockchains.
Years of ZK research is coming to life today in 3 main ways: 1. Scability 2. Trustlessness 3. New Use Cases

Zero knowledge tech is making rapid progress in the crypto world. You can look onchain to see who's using ZK.
Since Ethereum's launch, the # of unique contracts on mainnet Ethereum calling ZK related precompiles every month has grown steadily.
Let's dig in to the data!
In September 2017 precompiles for modular exponentiation and elliptic curve addition, multiplication, and pairing were added to Ethereum for use in verifying zkSNARK proofs.
Usage of these spiked last year from the launch of ZK rollups like zkSync, Scroll, and Linea.
