# What is ZKP?

**[Community Picks](https://daily.dev/sources/community)** · 4 min read · 4 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) allow you to prove knowledge without revealing the information. ZKPs are used in blockchain to protect privacy while confirming transactions. There are interactive and non-interactive ZKPs. ZKPs have applications in authentication, machine learning, online voting, and finance. However, the adoption of ZKPs is hindered by challenges in comprehension, limited learning resources, and cost.
