Zerobase

At its core, Zerobase is a next-generation zero-knowledge proving network optimized for low-latency, high-throughput proof generation. Unlike traditional ZK systems that rely on fragmented compute or centralized verifiers, Zerobase employs a multi-role coordination model using HUB-Prover architecture. This enables proof generation in milliseconds, with recent benchmarks showing latency as low as 17ms — a transformative leap for real-time applications.

Zerobase introduces a scalable framework for proof generation across multiple verticals. Whether it's confidential trading via zkDarkpool, compliant staking with zkCEX, or on-chain privacy using zkLogin, the platform offers flexible, standardized products alongside custom circuits. It supports leading tooling stacks like Circom and Gnark, and even allows optional decryptable proof layers, enabling enterprise and DeFi developers to build with ease and confidence.

One of the most distinctive features of Zerobase is its use of TEE-based privacy guarantees. All circuit inputs are processed securely within hardware-isolated environments, ensuring that sensitive data never leaks — even to prover operators. This means Zerobase delivers end-to-end confidentiality while still generating verifiable zero-knowledge attestations on-chain.

The economic layer of Zerobase is powered by the ZBT token. Proving Nodes must stake stablecoins to join the network and are rewarded based on performance. HUB Nodes receive emission rewards for routing data and sharing bandwidth. Meanwhile, general users can stake stablecoins through zkFi to earn off-chain yield, which is attested on-chain via zero-knowledge proofs. This ecosystem model enhances both transparency and utility across all user roles.

Zerobase is also highly committed to cost-efficiency. By minimizing overhead and leveraging distributed compute from a global network of nodes, it can generate proofs for under one cent. This makes zero-knowledge applications financially viable at scale — even for micro-transactions or complex financial flows. As Zerobase continues to expand its integrations and partnerships, it's poised to redefine how we approach privacy, compliance, and real-time trust in decentralized systems.

Backed by prominent investors including Lightspeed, Faction, Matrix Partners, and the U.S. National Science Foundation, Zerobase is emerging as a foundational infrastructure layer for the next generation of verifiable, private, and decentralized computation. As traditional industries seek privacy-preserving technologies and DeFi demands greater scalability, Zerobase offers a bridge between both worlds — with trust built into every proof.

Zerobase provides several key benefits that make it one of the most advanced platforms in the zero-knowledge infrastructure space:

• Real-Time Proof Generation: Zerobase delivers ultra-fast proof computation with latency as low as 17ms, enabling instant verifiability for sensitive transactions and systems.
• Privacy-Preserving Architecture: All proofs are generated using Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), ensuring private circuit inputs never leave secure enclaves.
• Enterprise-Ready Products: From zkLogin to zkDarkpool and zkCEX, Zerobase offers pre-built and customizable ZK solutions for both developers and institutions.
• Proof Cost Optimization: With proofs costing less than a cent, Zerobase ensures cost-effective scalability for ZK applications.
• Decentralized Trust Layer: The network uses a staking-based model where Provers and HUBs are rewarded and slashed based on performance, guaranteeing network integrity and uptime.
• Yield-Bearing ZK Staking: Users can earn yield by depositing stablecoins in zkFi, a capital-efficient staking product with zero-knowledge verified returns.
