Zero-knowledge proofs are techniques to verify claims without revealing the information itself. In this process, a "prover" shares proof of their claim with a "verifier, " who then verifies the accuracy of the proof without learning any additional information. It does not prove things with certainty. Instead, the process is repeated as often as needed, eventually reaching near-certainty. Zero-knowledge proofs are still in their early days as open initiatives and standardization efforts involve industry, academia, and technical and non-technical specialist. There are different Zero-knowledge proof systems for different use cases, most of which are either being researched or open-source implementation
