OP_ZKP Opcode Upgrade Proposal

PreviousIntroducing LightecNextOP_ZKP Proposal: One Year Milestone

Last updated 6 months ago

Introduction

The OP_ZKP Opcode Upgrade Proposal introduces an innovative soft-fork upgrade to Bitcoin, aiming to implement zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) capabilities directly on the Bitcoin network. This proposal leverages the custom-built Tea/Horse proving system, enabling Bitcoin users to perform computations on-chain with privacy, scalability, and improved programmability in mind.

What is OP_ZKP?

OP_ZKP proposes a new Bitcoin opcode dedicated to zero-knowledge proofs. By incorporating this opcode, Bitcoin gains advanced cryptographic tools that allow users to verify transactions and execute smart contracts with enhanced features. This development could foster new applications within Bitcoin, such as private transfers, scalable dApps, and cross-chain integrations—all while retaining Bitcoin's core principles of decentralization and security.
