S&P Global Completes OpenZeppelin Acquisition in DeFi Security Push
S&P Global has completed its OpenZeppelin acquisition, adding smart-contract security expertise after introducing a framework to assess DeFi lending-vault risks.
Zero-knowledge applications (zkApps) are blockchain-based programs that use zero-knowledge proofs to validate computation and data without revealing the underlying information. They allow users or applications to prove that certain conditions are met while keeping inputs private. zkApps typically perform complex logic off-chain and submit cryptographic proofs to the blockchain for verification. This approach reduces on-chain data requirements and improves efficiency. zkApps are commonly used to enhance privacy, scalability, and security in decentralized systems.
