BITCOIN RAILS #69: ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROOFS FOR POST-QUANTUM BITCOIN | with Benedikt Bünz 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: While many Bitcoiners remain hopeful the network will embrace zero-knowledge proofs for protocol-level use cases, practical adoption has remained limited outside of BitVM and a handful of experimental proposals. Most of the world’s ZKP research has circled around Ethereum and other ecosystems, where significant resources have been dedicated to advancing these systems, particularly for scaling and privacy applications. One of the most notable contributors to this research is Benedikt Bünz ☕️ — professor of cryptography at NYU and collaborator of Dan Boneh, who together inarguably form one of the strongest blockchain-applied cryptography teams in the world. The pair recently announced they’ll be leading the new post-quantum cryptography unit localhost research — the first dedicated PQ research effort within a major Bitcoin development organization. With Benedikt leading the charge on the use of zero-knowledge proofs for post-quantum mitigation, the question emerges: will the post-quantum transition be the catalyst to finally bring zero-knowledge proofs to Bitcoin's core protocol? In more detail, Benedikt and I discuss: - Why ZKPs haven’t been widely adopted by the Bitcoin technical community — and why the threat of quantum computers may change that posture going forward - How ZKPs could be used for signature batching to address larger post-quantum signatures in Bitcoin’s post-quantum era - Why Bitcoiners will likely prioritize hash-based signatures as an initial post-quantum scheme — rather than more efficient but less proven alternatives (e.g., lattice-based) - How ZKPs have evolved over the last decade and may finally be ready for Bitcoin’s strict requirements around trust assumptions - Why Benedikt and Dan are teaming up with localhost research to create the first post-quantum cryptography unit within a major Bitcoin development organization + what they hope to accomplish This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by: LayerTwo Labs LayerTwo Labs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) Hashi on Sui — a primitive for executing Bitcoin DeFi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity BitBox BitBox — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.

Arbitrum embraces ZK Succinct has signed exclusive partnership with Tandem (Offchain Labs’ venture arm) to bring ZK proving to Arbitrum chains. Uma Roy: “Every rollup will become a ZK rollup. We gave OP Stack that option with OP Succinct; now Arbitrum’s massive ecosystem gets it too.” What changes for users - Finality: withdrawals and settlements go from 7 days to minutes. - Capital efficiency: funds are no longer locked during week-long challenge periods. - User experience: bridges become smoother, safer, and significantly faster. - Security: execution is enforced by ZK proofs at L1, reducing dependence on sequencer honesty. Steven Goldfeder: “Using ZK proofs brings the network closer to something like Stage 2 decentralization — security enforced at L1, not just by trusting the sequencer.” What changes for the ecosystem - Flexibility: more than 40 Arbitrum chains, including projects like Robinhood and Converge, will be able to choose ZK proving. - Modular design: Succinct provers integrate without requiring a rewrite of the stack. - Governance: Arbitrum One itself is DAO-governed and will not flip overnight, but the stack now supports ZK from the ground up. - Hybrid paths: optimistic and ZK approaches can coexist, giving teams cost and latency trade-offs. What it means for Succinct - SP1 zkVM is already used by 35+ projects including Across, Avail, Celestia, Mantle, Polygon. - Succinct Prover Network, secured and powered by the PROVE token, expands beyond OP Stack chains to cover Arbitrum. - The addressable market effectively doubles. Monetizing even a fraction of Arbitrum’s L2 value could mean hundreds of millions in revenue distributed to provers, stakers, and partners. The ZK era is upon us

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development. This episode shares Eli’s early discussions of ZKPs for scaling, the use of proofs in privacy-enhancing technologies like Zcash, the explosion of ZKPs for Layer 2s on Ethereum… and his recent return to exploring ZKPs for Bitcoin. As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify via the linktree in my bio—YouTube link in comments as well.
