ZK Proofs 2025 Predictions: Another Breakthrough Year Projected, Expert Sees ‘100x Improvement’

Author: Content Editor
Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are expected to experience continued growth and adoption in 2025, according to experts. Improvements in proving performance and developer tools are predicted to make the technology more practical for privacy and scalability. ZKPs have gained significant traction in recent years, with 2024 being seen as a pivotal year. Experts have mixed views on factors contributing to ZKPs' growth, but there is consensus on the technology's direction. Anticipated developments include significant increases in ZKP proving performance, easier-to-use developer tooling, and widespread integration of ZK-protocols across platforms. ZK-rollups are expected to be relied upon heavily by multi-layer blockchains to enhance transaction throughput and efficiency. Experts also highlight the need for educating the public about the advantages of ZKPs and emphasize the potential applications of the technology beyond finance, such as in the healthcare industry. However, progress on the identity side of things is needed before widespread adoption in healthcare.
