Mina protocol is a cryptocurrency that just launched leveraging ZK Snarks. Will be interesting to see what happens with that technology.

  For anyone interested: https://minaprotocol.com/ https://minaprotocol.com/ It compresses the whole history of the blockchain into a proof of less than 21KB using recursive zero knowledge proofs (each block has a proof that the previous proof is valid).

    Can you decompress that 21KB to the entire transaction history? I.e does this qualify as real compression, or is it the equivalent of a hash?

      No, it's just the latest valid checksum afaik

      It’s not “real” compression. It’s a proof. So it is one way.
