Manta Network and zk-SNARK

Manta Network is a project that works in the field of complete privacy in WEB 3.
They want to achieve this using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). Let's take a closer look at what it is.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs is a cryptographic technology that allows you to verify the authenticity of a piece of information without disclosing the information itself.
In simple words, you can prove the correctness of your statement to someone else without revealing any additional information. If you want to delve into the knowledge of what ZKP (Zero-knowledge Proof) is, you definitely need to read the article on academy.binance. Everything is painted in great detail.

Manta Network uses a special type of ZKP — zk-SNARK, which has already been used in blockchains, for example zCash

zk-SNARK stands for Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-interactive Argument of Knowledge. SNARKs provide the ability for one party to prove to another that they know a secret without revealing the secret itself. It can be added to distributed ledger solutions as a zero-knowledge proof protocol to enhance privacy and scalability.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs can be verified quickly and requires less data than a standard transaction, the technology makes it possible to use not only as a privacy assurance, but also as a scalability solution.

Manta Network already uses ZKP, for example in its MantaPay application and users can make transactions without revealing their identity and transaction details.

The purpose of Manta Network is to ensure the privacy of web3. And thanks to ZKP and achievements in this area in recent years, the project is already implementing its plans.
