The team behind Partisia Blockchain is one of the most experienced teams in ZK

computations, from the initial mathematical proofs in 1988 to the first real-life large

scale and commercial use in 2008, which marks the starting point for the past 10

years’ collective effort to truly commercialise ZK computation. Today ZK computation

is used for trading and statistics in broad terms, and basic infrastructure such as key

management and authentication, etc. Collectively, the past 10 years have resulted in

protocols and frameworks that have reduced the computational overhead by

1/1.000.000 and, not least, the education of skilled developers, who have gained

intimate theoretical knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the

underlying protocols. The interplay between protocol designers and highly skilled

developers is key to ensuring scalable and provable secure implementation. The

Partisia Blockchain team brings the full package to blockchains.

Partisia Blockchain brings ZK computations to blockchains through a two-sided approach.

1. Partisia Blockchain involves global collaboration between accredited ZK

computation nodes, which are organised on the Partisia Blockchain, which is

designed for the transparent orchestration of ZK computation.

2. Partisia Blockchain will supply generic modules providing ZK computation

across independent blockchains.

This two-sided approach builds the foundation for blockchain applications that meet

users’ and regulators’ requirements through a tailored mix of transparency and

accountability, on the one hand, and privacy and confidentiality, on the other.

While the prime offering is an unprecedented blockchain agnostic platform for

provable secure privacy, it also opens up for a number of direct extensions. The

prime

extension is privacy-preserving Oracle functionality, which is used to

orchestrate

inter-chain transactions independent of the coins used and/or

privacy-preserving

auditing of inter-chain transactions, among other things.
