    Study Notes

    ZK-EVM Projects

    • The primary goal of ZK-EVM projects is to enable scalability and privacy on the Ethereum blockchain by leveraging Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proof technology.

    ZK-Rollups vs Ethereum

    • ZK-Rollups are a type of scaling solution that utilizes ZK proofs to bundle multiple transactions into a single transaction, thereby increasing the overall throughput of the network.
    • In contrast, Ethereum is a blockchain platform that utilizes a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm, which is less efficient and less private compared to ZK-Rollups.

    Alpha Compiler

    • The alpha compiler is a tool that translates Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) code into Starkware's ZK-friendly language, Cairo.
    • The purpose of the alpha compiler is to enable the creation of ZK-EVM compatible smart contracts, which can be executed on the Starkware network.

    Recent ZK-EVM Projects

    • Recent ZK-EVM projects include zkEVM, zkPorter, and zkSync, among others.
    • The core goal of these projects is to develop scalable, private, and decentralized solutions for the Ethereum ecosystem using ZK proof technology.

    Taxonomy

    • The taxonomy described in the text is a classification system that categorizes ZK-EVM projects based on their characteristics, such as scalability, privacy, and decentralization.
    • The purpose of the taxonomy is to provide a framework for understanding the different approaches and trade-offs in the ZK-EVM space.

    Privacy and Scaling Explorations Team

    • The Privacy and Scaling Explorations team is a research-focused group that explores the intersection of privacy and scalability in the ZK-EVM space.
    • The team's role is to investigate new technologies and techniques that can enhance the privacy and scalability of the Ethereum ecosystem, and to develop innovative solutions that can be applied to real-world problems.
