NEW YORK, June 14, 2024/Chainwire/ - Kadena, the world’s only scalable Proof of Work blockchain, announces a partnership with Argument (formerly Lurk Lab) to build out a Zero-Knowledge tech stack on the Kadena blockchain that will pave the way for provably secure cross-chain messaging.
Kadena and Argument are developing a robust ZK roadmap that includes a ZK bridge between Ethereum and Kadena. In total, there are two milestones that are expected to be accomplished in the second half of 2024, and a third milestone that will be completed later.
Given Argument's comprehensive and unique approach, John Wiegley, Kadena's Chief Technology Officer, is excited about the robust capabilities being developed for ZKs on Kadena by Argument.
“We’re excited to work with Argument to integrate their zero-knowledge technology into Kadena, particularly for the impact it will have in enabling zero-knowledge cross-chain messaging,” said Wiegley.
John Burnham, Co-Founder and CEO of Argument, also shared in the enthusiasm for the partnership and bringing ZK to Kadena.
“It's now generally accepted in Web3 that zero-knowledge cryptography is critical to building a world of fast, reliable, and interoperable blockchains, but what's not yet as widely understood are the tremendous performance and safety advantages unlocked by defining zero-knowledge proofs - and blockchain infrastructure in general - using functional programming techniques. Kadena has long been a leader in this space, and we're thrilled to be working together to achieve this shared vision of the functional future,” said Burnham.
