πŸ” ZK Proofs: The Hidden Engine Behind Web3 Privacy

Every Web3 developer should understand Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) β€” the cryptographic magic that lets users prove statements without revealing any data.

In this short video, I explain:
βœ… How ZK Proofs work
βœ… Why they matter in blockchain scaling
βœ… Real-world applications in DeFi & identity

Nice overview. ZK proofs are a huge part of the privacy story in Web3, but they’re not the only approach.

In practice, teams are exploring multiple models depending on the problem. For example, Oasis focuses on confidential compute (TEEs) to keep data and execution private while still being verifiable, which can be a better fit for complex logic, DeFi, or AI workloads. ZK shines at proving statements, while confidential compute shines at executing private logic.

Understanding how these approaches complement each other, rather than compete, is becoming increasingly important for Web3 developers.
