Zero-knowledge proofs represent a cryptographic technique where no information gets revealed during a transaction except for the interchange of some value known to both the prover and verifier, the two ends of the process.
A zero-knowledge proof is a way of proving whether a particular statement is true without revealing it. Here, the ‘prover’ is the party trying to establish a claim, while the ‘verifier’ is responsible for validating the claim.
In simpler terms, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) enable one party to prove to another party that they know something without sharing the information with another party to prove their knowledge.

Integrating cryptocurrencies with conventional financial systems becomes increasingly essential as they become more commonplace. This presents several obstacles to overcome before cryptocurrencies can realise their full potential. For instance, traditional institutions may be hesitant to work with cryptocurrencies due to concerns about money laundering and other illicit activities. Moreover, the technical difficulty of integrating cryptocurrencies with existing banking systems can prove intimidating.
The growth in the crypto markets has attracted players from other industries, including insurance. Cryptocurrency companies need insurance to shield against the risk of digital assets loss through theft, fraud or scams. Crypto insurance is particularly crucial for exchanges and other entities holding significant amounts of assets on behalf of their customers. This creates an opportunity for insurers so long as they can mitigate risks.
The internet has undoubtedly transformed our world, revolutionizing communication, transactions, and access to data. However, as we move forward into the future, new technologies are emerging that have the potential to reshape the Internet as we know it. One such technology is blockchain, a decentralized and secure system revolutionizing various industries.
In today's digital landscape, applications (apps) have become integral to our lives. Mobile apps have transformed how we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves, from social media platforms to productivity tools. However, with the rise of blockchain technology, a new paradigm of decentralized applications (DApps) has emerged, challenging the traditional app landscape. This article explores the key differences between apps and DApps, their advantages and disadvantages, and provides insights into their future outlook.
Wash trading is a form of illicit market manipulation where an entity buys and sells the same financial asset to create a false impression of market activity. This practice gained traction with the rise of electronic trading in the early 2010s, as algorithmic trading programs began churning trades at unprecedented speeds. This old illegal financial market trick has unfortunately found its way into the crypto industry.
Africa is a strong contender for developing technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrency owing to the continent's growing mobile tech adoption rates. Considering the turbulent global financial markets, expensive remittance costs, and restricted banking access, blockchain technology in Africa offers alternatives to tackle their day-to-day issues.
