And that is only for the blockchains which do actually use ZK-proofs. Like, say, David Chaum's upcoming "XX network" chain (FWIW David Chaum is the author of Digicash, predating Bitcoin, and one of the seven papers cited in Bitcoin's whitepaper).
Most blockchains by very far are using a public ledger and zero ZK crypto.
- vitehozonage 3y agoMonero uses them too of course, the one people actually use, so it's the better example rather than something obscure you're obviously trying to promote
- tromp 3y agoEvery elliptic curve signature, used in nearly all cryptocurrencies to transfer funds, is a ZK proof of knowledge of a private key, so most blockchains do use some ZK cryptography.
