Zero-Knowledge Compute Infrastructure
Zero-Knowledge Compute Infrastructure
Overview
The Zero-Knowledge Compute Infrastructure (ZK-Compute) is the computational backbone of zkShine. It enables developers to perform private computations, generate proofs, and verify outcomes directly on Solana without revealing the underlying data or logic.
By leveraging both zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs, zkShine provides flexible, scalable proving mechanisms suitable for diverse use cases from confidential smart contracts to privacy-preserving AI models.
Core Capabilities
zk-SNARK & zk-STARK Proof Generation Generates compact cryptographic proofs of computation that can be verified efficiently on Solana. zk-SNARKs offer small proof sizes and quick verification, while zk-STARKs provide transparency and post-quantum security.
Confidential Machine Learning Inference (zkML) Run AI models or analytic functions over encrypted datasets, allowing inference results to be proven valid without exposing the data or model parameters.
On-Chain Verification of Private Computations zkShine proofs can be submitted to Solana programs for validation. This guarantees that off-chain or confidential computations have been executed correctly, enhancing trust and transparency while preserving privacy.
Solana Runtime Integration ZK-Compute Nodes interact natively with Solana’s Sealevel runtime. This integration ensures low-latency proof validation, high throughput, and compatibility with Solana smart contracts.
Technical Flow
Developer submits computation task to a zkShine Compute Node.
Node performs computation privately and generates a zero-knowledge proof.
Proof is sent to the Solana network for on-chain verification.
Smart contracts validate proof authenticity, confirming that the operation occurred as claimed.
Use Cases
