Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Zero-knowledge (zk) technology lets users prove facts, such as being over 18 or having a valid ticket, without revealing personal data, enabling a more private and secure internet. Beyond privacy, zk also boosts blockchain efficiency by verifying small proofs instead of every transaction, unlocking applications like anonymous voting, cheat-proof games, and decentralized identity. This is all achieved without needing to share sensitive info.
