[艾略特]web3 演进的下一阶段将以零知识技术为基础

尽管区块链职业正确地指出了传统技能、金融、艺术和文化范畴的要害问题，但所许诺的革命没有完成，为处理这些应战而设计的东西没有达到所需的规范。

技能功率低下阻止了真正去中心化体系的发展，而去中心化金融（DeFi）平台自身也存在数据泄露的漏洞。

进入 2024 年，因为零常识 (ZK) 技能的不断发展，事情看起来愈加光明，这可能是开释真正去中心化数字平台优势的要害。

在 2023 年首要经过扩展处理方案的立异获得动力后，ZK 职业本年的持续增长应该会看到用例的多样化和激增，包含数据保护、隐私和合规性范畴的重要前进。

经过为区块链开发人员带来更安全、更高效的东西，ZK 技能的广泛优势将开端闪现，到 2024 年，ZK 技能将在不同职业得到更广泛的应用。

零常识可扩展性持续推动

简而言之，零常识证明（ZKP）答应一方（即证明者）向验证者验证一项声明，而无需泄漏除该特定现实之外的任何内容。

在实践中，ZKP 答应在链外执行杂乱的计算，然后减少区块链上的拥塞。

This has proved revolutionary to the Ethereum ecosystem, where rising demand for blockspace has led to an increasingly congested network with high fees, creating barriers to mass adoption. Scaling solutions like sharding, sidechains, state channels, and rollups have helped tackle scalability issues to improve developer and user experience while maintaining Ethereum’s well-regarded security and transparency values.

The same properties that make ZK ideal for reducing congestion on decentralized networks also bring greater data protection benefits. LoOKing ahead, we can expect to see more projects harnessing ZK tech for a variety of use cases, not just for scaling but also for data protection and compliance, which will lay the groundwork for major changes in Web2 and Web3.

ZKPs Broaden the Scope for User Data Protection

Putting aside all the benefits of scalability, it will be data protection that proves to be the killer use case for ZKPs, underpinning all other functions in blockchain applications. For context, data protection is a broader term than privacy as it encompasses security, integrity, and accessibility.

Data protection and privacy are often afterthoughts for people interacting online. This is by design – traditional digital platforms lure users in with free access and services, hiding the true cost in the fine print to collect and utilize valuable user data for analytics, targeting, and advertisement purposes.

However, recent surveys reveal that consumers are increasingly worried about the risk of data breaches and privacy infringements from their tech devices, with up to three-quarters of survey respondents agreeing they should do more to protect themselves.

As data breaches get more costly – amounting to 4.45 million U.S. dollars on average in 2023 – projects across various industries are seeking innovative solutions to prevent and reduce the impact of hacks and exploits. By empowering users to store personal information off-chain and enabling secure sensitive data disclosure, ZKPs can reduce vulnerabilities caused by the collective storage of data, which has been a prime target for hackers.

In 2024, the industry can expect a number of ZK-based privacy tools to advance and become user-ready, for example, ZK-login tools to streamline access to DeFi platforms, and ZK-based decentralized voting mechanisms to balance integrity and anonymity.

ZK Use Cases Outside of the Blockchain Space

ZK technology can also address key data management problems in other sectors, proving to be a breakthrough tool for the mass adoption of blockchain technology.

With increasing concerns about data breaches from users, traditional social media and Web2 platforms, which are often built on a data mining model, could integrate privacy-enhancing features for users powered by ZK technology, such as secure end-to-end messaging.

In other cases, it may be institutions required to safeguard sensitive data sets that are the first adopters of ZKPs for privacy. For example, in supply chain management, logistics, and telemetry, ZKPs can be used to verify activity while disclosing the least amount of data necessary between two parties. Not only is this efficient, but it can also be important for maintaining intellectual property rights and reducing the data management burden of any one party.

Likewise, governments and other institutions that deal with sensitive data can adopt decentralized identifiers (DiDs) which can be used to verify identity and other information while optimizing for privacy. Since 2014, residents in Estonia have been granted a state-issued digital identity for access to public services, a model that the European Union is seeking and several countries are on the path to emulate.

ZKPs Enable DeFi With a Path Towards Compliance

Collaboration with traditional financial institutions could bring much-needed liquidity to DeFi, but integrations have previously been stifled by contradictions between the principles of anonymity and privacy associated with DeFi and the KYC requirements banks and large-scale investment corporations must abide by in many jurisdictions. By the same measure, traditional businesses may be put off by the transparent properties of the blockchain, not wishing to have the details of every transaction documented on a public ledger.

With the use of ZKPs, DeFi platforms can verify that a user meets KYC requirements and also verify transactions without revealing identifying information or other superfluous information, striking a balance between DeFi values and TradFi responsibilities. For example, a report by Etonec demonstrates how ZKPs can be used for compliance in a privacy-preserving fiat stablecoin system.

Similar to privacy-optimizing solutions, ZKPs can offer more customizable compliance options, tailored to user needs. This is important because individuals have unique preferences when it comes to convenience and data protection. To deliver financial freedom to the masses, DeFi platforms need to offer a wide range of options for users.

Developer-Friendly Tools Accelerate Innovation On All Fronts

ZKPs support the modular evolution of blockchain, providing the building blocks to enable key functions like scaling, privacy, compliance, and importantly, interoperability.

In contrast to a monolithic blockchain like Bitcoin where all transactions are executed on a single layer, modular blockchains delegate functions to specific modules that make up an interoperable system. By reducing the workload of any specific component, modular blockchains reduce the likelihood of bugs and enable more efficient development.

在当前的情况下，第一层协议被视为相互竞赛，但随着区块链的模块化演变，区块链层的概念将更多地演变成模块化构建块的概念。

作为能够廉价验证和跨链桥接的小型数据证明，ZKP 将成为将这个互连体系粘合在一起的粘合剂。

经过任务的专业化，每个模块将能够更快地推动——例如，开发人员能够专心于提高合规性，因为扩展现已得到考虑，然后导致各方面的实验和立异添加。

2024 年将会发生什么

在不断变化的职业格式和宏观经济环境中，适应性是任何技能生计的要害。

现实证明，零常识证明就是一种具有无限适应性的东西，能够处理各种应战。

使用 ZK 的力量，下一年我们将开端看到用例的扩展超出扩展范围，首要关注各个范畴的数据管理、证明和应用程序。
