Prom (@prom_io): So, is the future zk? And most importantly, why?

So, is the future zk? And most importantly, why? > Math > Trust: Cryptographic proof is the backbone: no honesty assumptions, if the proof check out, it’s done. > Instant Finality: Zk-based networks give instant confirmation, unlike optimistic rollups. No pending state, no disputes. > Privacy Above: Prove correctness without revealing sensitive data. All verifiable, none exposed. > Lower Fees, Higher Throughput: Heavy computations happen off-chain, only the minimal required data is posted on L1. > True Scalability: Run thousands of transactions and submit one tiny proof: pure scaling, without breaking security. So, yes: even if the future might not be zk only, zk-based solutions are definitely a part of it. Zk stack is often viewed as the endgame, the most mathematically sound and future-proof approach for scaling solutions.
