In this episode of Chainlens Spaces, host Conor Svensson speaks with Rob Viglione, co-founder and CEO of Horizen Labs, about zkVerify and the evolution of zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology. Rob explains how ZK proofs are transforming on-chain privacy, scalability, and verifiability, and the role zkVerify plays as a verification layer optimized for cost and flexibility. The conversation delves into ZK’s applications in AI, gaming, and Web3, and how zkVerify offers efficient, universal verification that enhances trust across the blockchain ecosystem. Key Moments: The Origin of Horizen Labs : Rob shares how his early work in Bitcoin and the privacy-focused Horizen project led to his continued exploration of ZK proofs. ZK Proofs for Privacy and Scaling : ZK proofs enable both private transactions and scalable batch processing of transactions, critical to blockchain infrastructure. zkVerify's Efficiency Gains : Rob highlights zkVerify’s ability to reduce verification costs by processing proofs off-chain while staying adaptable to new cryptographic advancements.
