The blockchain space needs tools to optimize scalability and security.

Imagine a tool capable of increasing the efficiency of applications without needing more storage and computational power.

🧵 Let me explain @MinaProtocol's tool that can enable that ⬇️

🟧 RECURSIVE ZK-ROLLUPS 🟧

These complex words “recursive zk-rollups” are an extension of zkSNARKs from Mina. If you don’t understand what that is, I invite you to read this article that I created on zkSNARKs: https://www.bonzai.pro/0xjays_eth/posts/OX8Q_6571/zk-snarks-easily-explained

So, in simple words:

🔹 zkSNARKs = one proof

🔹 Recursive zk-Rollups = lots of proofs condensed into only one.

🟧 WHAT’S IT FOR? 🟧

It enables the possibility to manage more transactions without using more storage. It’s a revolution for the blockchain space because the big problem is the size of the blockchain.

For example:

🔹 Ethereum = ~1.5 - 2 terabytes

🔹 MinaProtocol = 22 kilobytes.

And you’re still asking whether this tool isn’t indispensable for the growth of blockchain?

🟧 ADVANTAGES 🟧

Zk-Rollups can increase the latency and throughput, but not only that.

🔹 With standard hardware, this approach significantly boosts transactions per second.

🟧 WHAT’S HAZOOK? 🟧

It’s an open-source zk-rollup built on Hadoop.

🔹 Simplifies integration with zkApps.

🔹 Can handle a high volume of transactions with standard hardware, enabling cost savings.

To prove that, some tests have been performed on AWS EC2.

👉 Hazook: an advantage for L2

🔹 Hazook is especially designed for Layer 2, which needs dynamic scaling and efficient management of peak loads.

🟧 FUTURE OF MINA 🟧

Future updates will aim to simplify zkApps programming and improve the proof system.

🔹 Just with proof, we can do anything 🔹
