zkFold layer1 and layer2
Scalable Distributed Ledger Technology

zkFold

zkFold is developing Layer 1 and Layer 2 scaling solutions for truly global adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT). To achieve this goal, we base our products on state-of-the-art zero knowledge proof (ZKP) algorithms.

Our first product, zkFold Symbolic smart contracts, is primarily launching on Cardano with possible extensions to other blockchains.

Our upcoming Layer 2 scalable DLT will be based on a new consensus algorithm of our own design. With its key characteristics being very high throughput, almost instant finality, and extremely low hardware requirements for nodes, we aim to elevate the scalability of smart contract blockchains to another level.

  • zkFold products attack all scalability bottlenecks: compute, storage, and network throughput
  • zkFold Symbolic enables complex smart contracts with low fees on L1
  • zkFold DLT takes full advantage of client-side computing and advancements in consensus and ZK algorithms to deliver unmatched performance

Products

zkFold Symbolic

A high-level functional language, a subset of Haskell. Smart contracts written in zkFold Symbolic are compiled directly into arithmetic circuits that can be utilized by various zero-knowledge protocols.
