Forecast Trend Report by Period
XRP Ledger, or XRPL, is bolstering privacy features with the adoption of zero-knowledge, or ZK, proofs, a key element in expanding institutional participation.
CoinDesk reported on Aug. 14 that XRPL has integrated the zero-knowledge proof network Boundless, giving the blockchain native support for ZK proof verification.
The integration is designed to let institutions transact on a public blockchain without exposing sensitive information. It also allows them to preserve privacy while maintaining regulatory compliance, according to CoinDesk.
Traditional public blockchains typically expose transaction amounts, counterparties and fund flows, creating concerns for institutions about revealing competitive information.
That has limited their use in large-scale asset management and over-the-counter, or OTC, trading.
Zero-knowledge proofs are intended to solve that problem by allowing users to prove the validity of specific information without disclosing the underlying data.
For example, users can verify that a transaction is valid or that funds are available without revealing the exact amount or the identities of the parties involved.
On XRPL, participants can prove that a transaction is valid and compliant without disclosing the transfer amount or the identities of the sender and recipient, the report said.
