Over the past months, zkPass completed one of the largest protocol-native trials in Web3 with more than 200M verifications, 10M proofs, and 100+ data sources tested across real applications.
Chapter 0 is now complete. Incentives for protocol-native testers and early community supporters are secured and will be honored, with no Sybil screening and no additional KYC required. 🌐✅
The next chapter begins with @zkPassDAO, the steward of treasury and community alignment. In this stage, $ZKP steps forward as the native asset of the Verifiable Internet, opening participation to a broader community and anchoring long-term credibility for the ecosystem.
To mark this transition, the $ZKP Checker is coming soon.
💡Word of the day- Verifiable Delay Function
Verifiable Delay Function (VDF) is a cryptographic tool that is slow to compute but fast to verify.
It forces a computer to perform a specific number of sequential steps to get an output, which can then be checked instantly by anyone.
What's the importance in Web3
VDFs are crucial for creating a secure and unpredictable source of randomness in blockchain systems.
This randomness is essential for tasks like:
📍Randomly selecting validators in Proof-of-Stake blockchains (e.g., Ethereum).
📍Preventing attacks where a malicious user tries to predict the future state of the network.
📍Ensuring fairness in on-chain games and lotteries.
Companies/Protocols that use it:
📍Ethereum (Beacon Chain): Uses VDFs for its randomness beacon to select validators.
📍Chia Network: Relies on VDFs for its Proof of Space and Time consensus.
📍Algorand & Filecoin: Both have used VDFs in their consensus mechanisms to ensure security and decentralization.
