Introducing Zeko Protocol: Empowering Ambitious Developers to Scale Your Apps with Typescript and Zero-Knowledge
Zeko is a zero-knowledge, cross-chain scaling protocol built on Mina and designed for developers shaping the future of finance, AI, gaming, and the internet.
We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in the journey of Zeko Protocol — the release of our devnet protocol for developer testing! This is the first pivotal step towards realizing our vision of a world powered by zero-knowledge technology. With this release, developers can seed new decentralized use cases and begin building the next generation of inspired zk-applications that transform our way of life.
The Zeko team and community are passionate about decentralization and user-owned data, and their combined potential to revolutionize industries across the globe. Zeko is all about amplifying your potential as a developer; and with our launch you now have the opportunity to dive into the protocol, explore its features, and unlock the magic of zero-knowledge technology.
Amplify Your Potential with Zeko
Zeko is a protocol for creating zkRollups specifically designed for zero-knowledge applications (zkApps) that support both end user privacy and recursive proof aggregation. zkApps on Zeko are written in Typescript using o1js, an efficient and extensible zkDSL. Developers can recursively prove unlimited off-chain computation whilst also maintaining privacy over user data.
Placing zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) capabilities into the hands of developers massively expands the design space for blockchain applications as we know them today. ZKPs are no longer theoretical, and now through Zeko, application developers are empowered to innovate and explore new types of decentralized applications whilst optimizing performance and user experience. Moreover, through the upcoming release of the LambdaClass bridge and future bridges, proofs that verify on Zeko can be consumed by the EVM, dramatically upending existing paradigms for blockchain applications.
Introducing the Zeko Protocol
Our devnet launch represents the initial version of Zeko Protocol, offering developers a sneak peek into the capabilities and functionalities to come. While this version will continue to evolve over time, it provides a foundation for developers to start experimenting and assess how to deploy more scalable, feature-rich applications on Zeko. With the release of our protocol, developers can expect to gain access to all the existing tooling and features a range of features and tools built for Mina, designed to simplify the zk development process. From proof generation, recursion, smart contract creation to decentralized storage solutions, our platform offers everything developers need to realize the potential to bring their dApp ideas to life.
Developers can write and deploy applications today to a Zeko L2 that is isomorphic to the Mina L1, or spin up their own custom zkAppChains. What makes Zeko so powerful is it’s built using o1js programming language and features numerous contributions from the tremendous o1Labs team, which means Zeko chains will enjoy easy composability between each other and Mina itself using recursive proofs.
