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 stalwart ZK action plan that includes a ZK bridge between and Kadena. In total, two milestones are expected to be achieved in the second half of 2024, with a third milestone to be achieved at a later date.
Given Lurk’s comprehensive and unique approach, John Wiegley, Kadena’s chief technology officer, is excited about the stalwart capabilities Lurk Lab has developed for ZK at Kadena.
“We are excited to work with Lurk Lab to integrate their zero-knowledge technology with Kadena, especially 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 his enthusiasm for the partnership and bringing ZK to Kadena.
“It is now generally accepted on 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 enormous performance and security benefits that can be gained from defining zero-knowledge proofs – and blockchain infrastructure in general – using functional programming techniques. Kadena has long been a leader in this space and we are excited to work together to achieve a shared vision of a functional future,” said Burnham.
