Overview of Zero-Knowledge Proof Ecosystem Projects

In the Web3 infrastructure space, zero-knowledge proof technology is gradually becoming the core of scalability and privacy solutions. These projects each have their own characteristics:

MOZ (Lumoz) primarily focuses on zero-knowledge proof infrastructure while also supporting scalability features. HEZ, as the native token of Polygon Hermez Network, is an early explorer in the zero-knowledge aggregation track. EDGEN concentrates on zero-knowledge proof verification capabilities, combining decentralized identity and privacy infrastructure. XZK is dedicated to optimizing zero-knowledge proof routing. STRK (Starknet) is a well-known zero-knowledge rollup L2 solution that has received broad ecosystem support.

These projects represent different exploratory directions of zero-knowledge proofs from theory to application—some enhance scalability efficiency, some emphasize privacy protection, and others optimize cross-chain interactions. As zk technology continues to evolve, this ecosystem map is also constantly advancing.

EDGEN2,81%

XZK-0,67%

STRK10,29%

honestly starknet is the only one actually shipping on this list. rest are still in the "formal verification pending" stage lol

With so many players in the zk ecosystem, it feels like everyone is competing for a slice of the expansion cake. --- STRK has really gained momentum, but other projects don't seem to have enough presence. --- It's MOZ, HEZ, EDGEN... how many can survive? --- Privacy is indeed necessary, but how can zk technology truly be implemented? --- How does XZK play in cross-chain optimization? The competitiveness seems average. --- Talking about zk without mentioning Starknet is like not talking at all; the others are just supporting roles. --- Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but how many people are actually using them...

This wave of zk definitely has some substance, but it seems that many projects are still more conceptual than practical... Starknet at least has an ecosystem, what about the others?

This round of zk indeed has some substance, but it feels like everyone is just telling stories... The STRK ecosystem has indeed been well laid out, but I just don't know when these coins will truly come to fruition.

The zk track is indeed flourishing now, but I still think STRK is the top, and others are just looking for angles.

The zk space is really heating up. It feels like every project is bragging about how awesome they are, but only a few can actually get it running smoothly.

With so many projects in the zk ecosystem, those who bought HEZ early on have all become wealthy, right? Are there still undervalued ones...
