The ZK-Labs team is branded as a body at the intersection of core developers from IOHK and the University of Edinburgh, the second of such partnerships between the two entities. With ZK generally regarded as the future of blockchain confidentiality and functionality, industry observers have now started wondering how much the protocol will be integrated into the Cardano blockchain.
As mentioned earlier, ZK is at the heart of the functionalities of the most renowned protocols on Ethereum, including among others. The broad acclaim that the technology holds in bolstering privacy and decentralization among protocols has also been hailed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.For IOHK, work is in full bloom, a move that shows the Cardano protocol is highly receptive to emerging trends in the fast-paced, evolving digital currency ecosystem.Blockchain development is ever evolving and IOHK, as led by Charles Hoskinson, remains committed to key aspects of the core innovations it is heralding.
