Horizen Labs has integrated zkVerify, a modular protocol specially designed for verifying zero-knowledge proofs, into ApeChain's Jenkins Testnet, known as the Arbitrum Orbit Chain.
This integration aims to expand the range of Web3 games that can be launched on ApeChain with optimal efficiency.
Developers using ApeChain can utilize zkVerify's zero-knowledge proof verification technology to enhance transaction processing and reduce proof verification fees by more than 90%, potentially leading to significant annual savings for applications developed on ApeChain.
zkVerify addresses the challenges associated with expensive and resource-intensive zero-knowledge proofs by shifting the burden of proof verification away from the main blockchain. This reduces the computational load on the blockchain, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions.
According to Rob Viglione, the Co-founder and CEO of Horizen Labs, this integration signifies a notable progress in offering efficient and scalable blockchain solutions for developers and users.
Developers can employ the interface to create ZK-based games that incorporate various forms of proof attestations, including those traditionally tough to verify on Ethereum.
This simplifies the development process for ZK projects, making it more accessible to a wider range of developers.
Additionally, using zkVerify as Substrate pallets allows extensive customization, ensuring maximum efficiency and security for applications developed on ApeChain.
zkVerify is a blockchain system designed to streamline the verification of zero-knowledge proofs across different blockchain platforms, enabling Layer 2 projects and dApp developers to expand their operations swiftly and cost-effectively without compromising network speed.
