zk-SNARKs: The Development Journey from Theory to Application 1. The Historical Context of zk-SNARKs The modern theoretical foundation of the zero-knowledge proof system originates from an important paper proposed in 1985 and published in 1989. This paper explores the amount of knowledge that needs to be exchanged to prove the correctness of a statement through multiple rounds of interaction in interactive proof systems. If the proof can be completed without disclosing any additional information, it is called a zero-knowledge proof. Early zk-SNARKs systems had shortcomings in efficiency and practicality, primarily remaining at the theoretical level. In the past decade, with the rise of cryptography in the cryptocurrency field, zk-SNARKs has gradually become an important research direction. Among them, developing general, non-interactive zk-SNARKs protocols with limited proof size is a key objective. A major breakthrough in zero-knowledge proofs came from Groth's paper published in 2010, which introduced zk-SNARKs.
