14th,
2024,
Chainwire
Kadena,
the
world’s
only
scalable
Proof
of
Work
blockchain,
announces
a
partnership
with
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
Lurk
Lab
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
Lurk’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
Lurk
Lab.
“We’re
excited
to
work
with
Lurk
Lab
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
Lurk
Lab,
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.
