Recently, I came across @ZEROBASE (the ZBT project), and I find their approach quite interesting. It's not just a new narrative that purely stacks ZK, nor is it just a hardcore belief in hardware that relies solely on TEE, but instead, it directly integrates ZKP and TEE, creating a practical combination.
Let's first talk about ZKP. I've always thought its impressive aspect lies in the fact that 'mathematically, you can't cheat.' You prove that a computation result is correct, but the process and input data are hidden; the nodes on the chain only recognize that proof, right?
Why do I think this approach is reliable? Because in the real world, pure mathematical trust (relying entirely on ZK) and pure hardware trust (relying entirely on TEE) both have fatal flaws:
· Pure ZK: performance bottlenecks + high circuit development thresholds, ordinary projects simply can't afford it.
· Pure TEE: What if there are backdoors from hardware manufacturers? Intel/AMD have been caught in scandals before, trust is not absolute.
Zerobase equals betting on both sides: TEE manages speed and privacy execution, ZKP manages the final "zero-trust" verification. Even if TEE is breached, proofs can still block false results from being recorded on-chain.
On the contrary, the slow part of ZKP has been circumvented by TEE. In real scenarios, they promote zkStaking (privacy staking), zkDarkPool (preventing front-running of large orders), zkVote, and even zkCEX.
What institutions fear most is strategy exposure. Zerobase claims to allow them to run hedging/arbitrage strategies off-chain, only posting proofs on-chain, without the fear of being copied. It sounds quite refreshing, especially now that RWA and institutional participation are increasing, privacy needs are not optional but a necessity.
Overall, I feel that @ZEROBASE is not reinventing the wheel, but rather "making the existing wheels a bit sturdier."
