Abstract

In recent years, blockchain technology has evolved significantly, enabling a decentralized network application model that offers both user anonymity and transparency. This unique characteristic of blockchain has led to its adoption in various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. The advancement of modern zero-knowledge proof technology has further enhanced blockchain's applications across these fields, bolstering privacy protection. Zero-knowledge proofs have become a key mechanism in blockchain smart contracts, offering a balance between transparency and privacy. Moreover, the integration of zero-knowledge proof technology with blockchain is facilitating technical advancements in areas facing challenges, such as autonomous driving technology. It is also addressing security concerns in more established technologies like the Internet of Things. This synergy between zero-knowledge proof and blockchain technologies is paving the way for innovative solutions across a wide range of applications.
