Brainstorming ZK app ideas

Ask yourself the following questions:

Interoperability:

• Which cross-platform processes could benefit from ZK proofs for secure interactions?

• What digital signatures exist in the world that I might be able to prove interesting stuff about it?

Scalability:

• Which parts of onchain applications can be offloaded to reduce on-chain storage/computation?

Verifiable Computation

• Which applications requires A LOT of computation but would be ideal to cheaply / quickly / (weakly) verify?
• Can I prove that a specific action occurred (e.g., execution, interaction) without exposing details?
• How can I ensure that data was processed correctly without needing to show the input or output?
• Which centralized systems can be disrupted using ZK proofs to enable more decentralized applications?

Zero Knowledge

• Which applications requires sharing sensitive data? Which can I hide?
• What new dynamics (like games/relationships) might start if we can hide aspects and prove other aspects of an reality.
• Can we reduce communication costs (back & forth) by just showing something once?
• How can I prove identity or membership without revealing personal information?
• Which parts of a user's data can remain hidden during a transaction or interaction?
• Which operations require verification without revealing the underlying data?

Decentralization

• How can ZK enable trustless interactions between untrusted parties?
