definition

Zero-knowledge proofs let a prover convince a verifier that a computation or claim is valid without revealing inputs. Modern ZK systems enable private transactions and scalable verification.

Example 1.1

"A user proves they are over 18 without revealing their birthdate using a zero-knowledge proof."
