No, it’s unrelated to such a possibility (which was mentioned in the past but abandoned afaik). The zk prover will need to prove execution of Kaspa L1 transactions which include a payload containing SC calls targeted to the system he’s proving.
So it’s a zk rollup design over…— Michael Sutton (@MichaelSuttonIL) November 12, 2024
**Michael Sutton Discusses zk Rollup Design for Kaspa’s Layer 1 Transactions**
In a recent tweet, Michael Sutton, a prominent Distributed Systems Researcher and Developer, and one of the core developers of Kaspa, provided insights into a new zk rollup design related to the Kaspa blockchain.
Sutton clarified that the zk prover—part of a zero-knowledge proof mechanism—will be tasked with proving the execution of Kaspa Layer 1 (L1) transactions. These transactions will include a payload consisting of smart contract (SC) calls that are specifically targeted at the system under verification. His comments indicate a strategic advancement in the technology underpinning the Kaspa network, focusing on enhancing scalability and privacy through innovative cryptographic methods.
Importantly, Sutton noted that this new design is unrelated to earlier discussions surrounding alternative solutions that were previously mentioned but ultimately abandoned. This confirms a clear focus on developing a robust zk rollup architecture that is tightly integrated with Kaspa’s existing framework.
The implications of Sutton’s insights are significant for the future of Kaspa, as it shows a commitment to evolving its infrastructure to ensure both efficiency and security in executing transactions.
