Zulu Completes First ZKP Verification Test Implementation Written in Bitcoin Script

Zulu Network, a pioneer in blockchain technology, has achieved a significant milestone in fueling the rapid growth of BitVM by developing and passing verification algorithm testing for Groth16, the first zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) algorithm scripted in Bitcoin.

This is an important milestone and lays the foundation for building a decentralized bridge based on BitVM2. Zulu’s next milestone is to launch a minimal-trust Bitcoin bridge based on cross-chain and BitVM2.

Zulu is currently developing the first BitVM-based bridge to enable large-scale assets (fixed amounts) across chains and the first decentralized ZK bridge to provide users with cross-chain operations of any amount.

For developers and enthusiasts who want to gain a deeper understanding of the technology behind Zulu’s innovative solutions, Zulu is providing codebase views to prospective strategic partners. This codebase will eventually be made open source to allow the entire ecosystem to better scale Bitcoin. The codebase includes detailed documentation, sample code, and resources to help developers get started implementing ZKP verification testing and BitVM trust-minimization bridging in their own projects. This landmark achievement significantly advances Bitcoin’s decentralized finance and secure data verification fields.

Since the release of the BitVM whitepaper in October 2023, the Zulu team has been working hard to improve this innovative solution and was the first to propose the introduction of ZKP in BitVM to improve the overall design solution (https://hackmd.io/) -ScUwVz4SHi3936ASfyG7A ?look). Today, ZKP can be verified on Bitcoin along with a license-free challenge mechanism, making the Zulu Chain the industry’s first hybrid UTXO and EVM layer 2 network guaranteed by Bitcoin’s cybersecurity and economic security.

The results achieved by Zulu aim to benefit the community and we will continue to incorporate community feedback and contributions. Currently, Zulu’s core members have already contributed some of the core code to BitVM’s official open source library, and in the future period, Zulu will gradually open more code to jointly promote the further improvement of the larger blockchain industry. . infrastructure.

Zulu is proud to be at the forefront of blockchain innovation, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of decentralized technology. With its recent achievements, Zulu is paving the way for a future where trust, security and transparency are not just ideals but practical realities that empower individuals and businesses around the world.

Stay tuned for further updates from Zulu as we continue to drive advancements and innovation in the blockchain space.
