zkDatabase Testnet is Live: Proof in Action
The wait is over - zkDatabase Testnet is now live!
At its core, zkDatabase leverages Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to verify data queries and transactions. This breakthrough enables seamless on-chain verification for both Web3 and enterprise use cases.
zkDatabase: Self-proving Database
Built on Verifiable Data Infrastructure and zkMemory, zkDatabase bridges the gap between enterprise needs and ZK technology. It unlocks new possibilities for FinTech, Insurance, Gaming, and more—allowing off-chain data to be independently verified for the first time.
How zkDatabase Bridges Off-Chain Data with On-Chain Verification
Traditional databases operate off-chain, lacking the cryptographic assurances needed for Web3 applications. zkDatabase changes this by introducing verifiable off-chain rollups, ensuring that data integrity is preserved and fully auditable. By combining off-chain efficiency with on-chain trust, zkDatabase delivers the best of both worlds: scalability, security, and privacy.
Core Upgrades in Testnet:
Server-Side Proving Scheduler – Optimized proving process for efficient computation.
Verifiable Off-Chain Rollups – Secure and scalable data aggregation.
GUI Management Tool Update – Improved user experience for seamless interaction.
SDK Update – Simplified integration for developers.
These upgrades enhance performance, usability, and cryptographic security, making zkDatabase more accessible and robust.

Current Focus: Advancing Privacy and Proof Systems
The testnet phase is just the beginning. Our next steps include:
Exploring Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) for enhanced privacy.
Supporting multiple-proof systems to increase flexibility and efficiency.
Integrating with Aligned Layer to expand interoperability.
What’s Next?
Beyond the Testnet, we're taking zkDatabase to the next level. We’re integrating with @Starknet to enhance scalability, collaborating with @RiscZero to enable decentralized verifiable compute, and incorporating SP1 of @SuccinctLabs for next-gen proof systems. To further boost performance, we're also rewriting the server-side prover in Rust.
Big upgrades are coming!
