The move would usher a new era of user privacy as public ledgers face scrutiny over their ability to be traced by blockchain data analytics firms. On Thursday, ConsenSys, a prominent developer of Ethereum (ETH) software, announced the launch of enterprise software ConsSys Rollups. The service, designed on the basis of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, is meant to protect specific transaction elements, such as account balances, sender and recipient wallet addresses and transaction amounts to secure each user's privacy.Zero-knowledge proofs enable the validation of sensitive encrypted information,....
