what's zkverify?
zkVerify is a decentralized, Substrate-based blockchain designed for efficient verification of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs at scale. It enables the verification of proofs from various cryptographic systems, reducing costs and enhancing trust in applications across blockchains, AI, and digital identity. By aggregating verification tasks across a network of nodes, zkVerify offloads computational burdens from individual chains, allowing for faster and more scalable operations without compromising security. The protocol operates as a universal proof verification layer, supporting multiple ZK proving systems like RISC Zero and others through runtime upgrades. Developers can submit proofs via APIs or SDKs, which are then verified on-chain by zkVerify's validators. This creates a shared infrastructure for provable computations, fostering interoperability in Web3 ecosystems. Games and applications, such as zk Space Invaders, demonstrate its use by logging verifiable scores on-chain. zkVerify's tokenomics revolve around its native token, used for staking, governance, and incentives within the network. It emphasizes decentralization through a proof-of-stake model, ensuring robust and distributed verification services.
