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.

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.

Blockchain technology can solve Africa’s financial needs—precisely the disruption needed to level the playing field. This parallel financial structure can serve a tangible social good, offering an onramp to Africa’s financial landscape for people who would otherwise be excluded.
The local currencies’ depreciation in Africa has made them no longer a safe store of value.
