Powering the
Telos Ecosystem

As regulatory requirements around geographic, age, or other legal statutes become increasingly complex, the need for simplicity and efficiency in compliance processes is more relevant than ever. Zk-SNARKs technology, through solutions like SNARKtor, enables companies, applications, and governments to obtain necessary confirmations of compliance-relevant information quickly and cost-effectively, without the need to access the information directly. This approach not only streamlines regulatory compliance but also enhances privacy and data protection by minimizing the exposure of sensitive information.

Leveraging SNARKtor for aggregating multiple Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs into a single on-chain transaction significantly enhances scalability, directly proportional to the count of proofs consolidated. This methodology, exemplified by incorporating 100 individual proofs into one comprehensive SNARKtor proof, leads to substantial reductions in both transaction fees and processing times. Such an approach is crucial for scaling transaction capabilities efficiently, as it allows a multitude of operations to be validated collectively, rather than individually. This not only streamlines the verification process on the blockchain but also offers a scalable solution that mitigates the cost and time barriers traditionally associated with executing a high volume of transactions, thereby unlocking new possibilities for applications requiring extensive computational resources and high throughput.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with blockchain through the use of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs facilitates a seamless implementation of AI functionalities without necessitating direct on-chain execution. This approach enables the adoption of both current and future AI tooling, circumventing the need for potentially expensive and time-consuming on-chain processes. By leveraging ZK proofs, AI algorithms can validate and process complex operations off-chain, while still ensuring the integrity and privacy of the data. This method not only preserves the blockchain's performance by reducing the burden on the network but also opens up new avenues for incorporating advanced AI capabilities, enhancing the ecosystem's overall efficiency and scalability.
