Improving Data Verification on the Ethereum Blockchain: A Breakthrough in Zero-Knowledge Proof Technology
A new zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) technology called Storage Proofs has been introduced to enhance access and verification of historical data on the EthereumEther (ETH) is used to pay for computation and token swaps on Ethereum. Users "fuel" smart contracts and DApps with ETH. blockchainThink of blockchain as a digital ledger that records transactions in a transparent, tamper-proof way. It's a chain of transaction blocks linked chronologically.. This technology, developed by Herodotus in collaboration with StarkWare, utilizes storage proof cryptography, eliminating the need for third-party involvement. By leveraging StarkWare’s STARK proving, the solution enables users to verify data from any point in Ethereum’s blockchainThink of blockchain as a digital ledger that records transactions in a transparent, tamper-proof way. It's a chain of transaction blocks linked chronologically.. The on-chain accumulator, acting as a cache for block headers, significantly reduces the time required to validate the blockchainThink of blockchain as a digital ledger that records transactions in a transparent, tamper-proof way. It's a chain of transaction blocks linked chronologically. and associated data. This breakthrough opens up possibilities for applications such as account recovery and automated insurance protocols.
