Zero Knowledge Proof Gains Momentum with Hardware, While ZCash and Cardano Face Uncertainty

Privacy-focused cryptocurrencies are generating renewed interest. Zcash (ZEC) surged by 75% this month, and its price is predicted to reach $600 by late November, according to models. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) broke through a long-term downtrend as the Berlin Summit highlighted enterprise blockchain applications. But a deeper question remains: how can we distinguish between real technology and short-lived speculation? Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) offers an alternative approach. This article explores ZKP’s distinct approach, focusing on its hardware model and potential in contrast to other cryptocurrencies.
