New York, New York – June 14th, 2024 – Chainwire
Kadena, the world’s leading scalable Proof of Work blockchain, has announced a strategic partnership with Lurk Lab to develop a cutting-edge Zero-Knowledge technology stack on the Kadena blockchain. This collaboration aims to facilitate provably secure cross-chain messaging.
Kadena and Lurk Lab are working together on a comprehensive ZK roadmap, which includes the creation of a ZK bridge connecting Ethereum and Kadena. The project is set to achieve two major milestones in the second half of 2024, with a third milestone to follow at a later date.
John Wiegley, Chief Technology Officer of Kadena, expressed his excitement about the innovative ZK capabilities being developed by Lurk Lab for the Kadena blockchain. “We are thrilled to partner with Lurk Lab to integrate their zero-knowledge technology into Kadena, especially for its potential to enable zero-knowledge cross-chain messaging,” said Wiegley.
John Burnham, Co-Founder and CEO of Lurk Lab, also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership and the integration of ZK technology into Kadena. “It is widely recognized in Web3 that zero-knowledge cryptography is essential for building a world of fast, reliable, and interoperable blockchains. However, the significant performance and security benefits achieved by utilizing functional programming techniques for zero-knowledge proofs and blockchain infrastructure are not as widely known. Kadena has been a pioneer in this field, and we are excited to collaborate to realize our shared vision of a functional future,” Burnham added.
