Kadena, the world's only scalable proof-of-work blockchain, announces a partnership with Lurk Lab to build a zero-knowledge technology stack on the Kadena blockchain that will pave the way for provably secure cross-chain messaging.
Kadena and Lurk Lab are developing a robust roadmap for ZK that includes a ZK bridge between Kadena and Kadena. In total, there are two milestones expected to be achieved in the second half of 2024, and a third milestone to be completed later.
Given Lurk's comprehensive and unique approach, John Wiegley, CTO of Kadena, is excited about the strong capabilities Lurk Lab is developing for ZK on Kadena.
“We are excited to work with Lurk Lab to integrate their zero-knowledge technology into Kadena, particularly because of the impact it will have in enabling zero-knowledge cross-chain messaging,” Wiegley said.
John Burnham, co-founder and CEO of Lurk Lab, also shared the excitement about the partnership and bringing ZK to Kadena.
“It is now generally accepted in Web3 that zero-knowledge cryptography is critical to building a world of fast, reliable, and interoperable blockchains, but what is not yet as widely understood are the tremendous performance and security benefits that are unlocked by define zero-knowledge proofs, and blockchain infrastructure in general, using functional programming techniques. “Kadena has long been a leader in this space and we are thrilled to work together to achieve this shared vision of the functional future,” Burnham said.
