ZKP-Fungible Token

Understand key crypto terminology related to Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) powered NFTs. Gain clarity on concepts that drive secure transactions and privacy in the NFT space.

A ZKP-Fungible Token combines two concepts: zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and fungible tokens. Fungible tokens are interchangeable units of value, meaning each token is equal and can be replaced by another token of the same type. For example, one Bitcoin is equal to another Bitcoin.Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic methods that allow one party to prove to another that they know a certain piece of information without revealing the information itself. This ensures privacy and security in transactions.When these two concepts merge, ZKP-Fungible Tokens provide a way to maintain the fungibility of tokens while ensuring privacy. This means that users can verify ownership or transactions of tokens without disclosing sensitive information. For instance, in a transaction involving a ZKP-Fungible Token, the parties can confirm the validity of the trade and its compliance with rules, while keeping individual transaction details private. This enhances user confidentiality and is particularly valuable in applications where privacy is paramount.
