SNARK
Security
Succinct Non‑interactive ARgument of Knowledge.
SNARKs are short, quickly verified proofs used in many zero knowledge systems. Many require trusted setup and use pairing based cryptography.
Frequently asked questions
Why are SNARKs popular?
They have small proofs and fast verification, which is useful for scaling and privacy.Do SNARKs need trusted setup?
Many do. Newer schemes reduce setup risk or avoid it at cost of larger proofs.Where are SNARKs used?
Rollups, identity, and verifiable computation on and off chain.
