ZEROBASE Unveils Consumer level Zero-Knowledge Infrastructure at ETHCC

Blockchain infrastructure provider ZEROBASE introduced two technological advancements related to Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) during the ETH Community Conference (ETHCC) in Cannes, France.

The zkStaking platform and the ZEROBASE Proof Scanner products were announced during a keynote delivered by ZEROBASE Chief Marketing Officer, Gink. The announcement was made at a conference focused on a key tension in Web3 infrastructure: the paradox of ZKPs.

Titled "The ZK Paradox: Powerful Yet Invisible", his talk explored the gap between ZK's cryptographic potential and its limited visibility to end users.

zkStaking allows users to stake stablecoins such as USDC and USDT, which are deployed across multiple vetted centralised exchanges to capture arbitrage yield opportunities. zkStaking distinguishes itself by using ZKPs to cryptographically verify that all yield strategies are risk-neutral and adhere to predefined compliance thresholds. 

This integration introduces an unprecedented level of transparency to crypto yield products. If predefined thresholds are exceeded, users receive automated notifications accompanied by real-time cryptographic proofs.

Alongside zkStaking, the company also introduced the ZEROBASE Proof Scanner, a tool designed to make ZKPs accessible and intuitive. Rather than confronting users with raw cryptographic data, the scanner translates complex proofs into simple validation messages such as “Validation Passed,” accompanied by a unique hash. Over three million proofs have already been generated through the platform, highlighting growing user engagement.

During his keynote titled “The ZK Paradox: Powerful Yet Invisible,” Gink highlighted a fundamental contradiction in current blockchain architecture. While ZKPs are capable of enabling trustless verification, they are rarely seen or understood by the end user. He argued that trust in Web3 cannot be fully realized without user-facing ZK applications that are both transparent and understandable.

He also challenged prevailing notions about privacy in blockchain ecosystems, positioning it not as an optional feature but as a core requirement for digital coordination. 

In his view, Zero-Knowledge Proofs do more than protect data, they allow for verifiable sharing without disclosure of sensitive information, unlocking a new paradigm of trust and auditability.

He clarified that zkStaking avoids profit extraction from counterparties or end users, and instead capitalizes on structural inefficiencies in funding rates across exchanges. ZKPs provide assurance that strategies follow strict rules—without revealing proprietary execution details.

However, he acknowledged that cryptographic proofs alone are insufficient to eliminate all risk. Execution still occurs on centralized exchanges, introducing counterparty exposure. 

To mitigate this, ZEROBASE has integrated across multiple platforms to diversify risk and reduce reliance on any single venue. This reflects a hybrid architecture, where Zero-Knowledge technology bridges the idealism of permissionless systems with real-world operational demands.

Gink closed the session with a long-term vision for a layered, ZK-native ecosystem, describing how Zero-Knowledge technologies could enhance various user touchpoints, from wallets and decentralized trading to GameFi, social apps, and even AI systems. Referring to this approach as the “Swiss Cheese Model,” he outlined how layered ZK integration could provide redundancy, resilience, and verifiability across the digital landscape.

The announcements mark a strategic move by ZEROBASE to make Zero-Knowledge infrastructure usable, transparent, and trustworthy at the consumer level, bringing advanced cryptographic guarantees out of the lab and into everyday use.
