🔐 **Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)** is a cryptographic protocol that allows one party (the prover) to **prove the truth of a statement to another party (the verifier) without revealing any additional information**.

✅ **Core Values**:

- **Privacy Protection**: For example, verifying the legitimacy of account balances in blockchain transactions without disclosing account details;

- **Scalability**: Compressing large computations into lightweight proofs (like zk-Rollups) to reduce on-chain load.

🌍 **Application Scenarios**:

- **Privacy Coins** (like Zcash): Hiding transaction amounts and addresses;

- **DeFi**: Verifying ownership of collateral assets without exposing holdings;

- **Identity Verification**: Proving age ≥ 18 years without showing a birthdate.

💡 **Technical Branches**: zk-SNARKs (require initial trust setup), zk-STARKs (quantum-resistant). **#ZKP** is becoming the cornerstone of privacy and efficiency in Web3!
