“ZK” is now an industry term that encompasses many subcategories of encrypted computation: true ZK, multiparty computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), trusted execution environments (TEE), and more. For all intents and purposes, the following overview is limited to ZK though the other categories are worth further exploration. Within ZK specifically, we suspect people are fundamentally misunderstanding (and therefore mispricing) the value proposition. This misunderstanding coupled with accelerating performance and decreasing cost curves should hopefully lead to the creation of de novo value in the near future (1-3 year time horizon). While the current market for ZK proofs (ZKPs) seems to be relevant mostly to the blockchain space, it’s possible that the addressable market for ZKPs extends far beyond crypto applications. In this piece, we’ll explore the mechanics and economics of ZKPs and the areas where Tower Research Ventures is interested in exploring applications. What
