PROOF OF MEOW: HOW ZK-VM WORKS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

This article simplifies the concept of a Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine, software that validates that a program has been executed correctly, with a lighthearted example, “Proof of Meow.” It outlines the process of program compilation to bytecode, execution inside the VM generating an execution trace, and the role of the prover and verifier. The piece also shows how these principles apply to the Ethereum Virtual Machine in ZK-Rollups.
