Bitcoin Layer 2 Rootstock Verifies Zero-Knowledge SNARK
  • Zero-knowledge SNARK (Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) describes a procedure where one can show understanding without exposing that info and without the prover and verifier interacting.

  • “The advancement represents a significant leap forward for the BitVMX showing system, showing the capability to challenge and confirm the execution of a SNARK verifier on-chain,” Rootstock’s group stated.

A group of designers from Rootstock Labs and Fairgate state they’ve prospered in the technological advancement of interactively confirming a SNARK evidence– an effective kind of cryptography in lots of blockchain systems– on the primary Bitcoin network.

The presentation might represent a significant advance in making the biggest blockchain more accommodating to quicker, more affordable layer-2 networks, with programmability comparable to what’s presently possible on Ethereum and other networks.

The SNARK was confirmed utilizing a customized variation of Robin Linus’s BitVM style, called BitVMX, that the group established individually. Linus established BitVM as a computing paradigm developed to permit Ethereum-style wise agreements on Bitcoin.

Zero-knowledge SNARK (Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) describes a procedure where one can show understanding without exposing that details and without the prover and verifier interacting.

The confirmation occurred on Bitcoin’s mainnet on Thursday, having actually been finished in a testnet environment the day previously.

“The advancement represents a significant leap forward for the BitVMX showing system, showing the capability to challenge and confirm the execution of a SNARK verifier on-chain,” Rootstock’s group stated in an emailed declaration on Thursday. “This advancement unlocks for reproducing this procedure with any program assembled to the RISC-V architecture, making use of BitVMX’s general-purpose virtual CPU.”

CORRECTION (July 26, 19:00 UTC): Corrects 4th paragraph to state the confirmation occurred on Bitcoin’s mainnet rather of Rootstock’s
