Frequently Asked Questions

What is zkMakers mission?

What is zkMakers mission? The zkMakers protocol aims to address two primary challenges in the crypto ecosystem:

Establish a ZK Layer to enable trustless certification of trading activity (ZK Volume Proof) on exchanges via ZK-SNARKs.
Develop a Protocol Layer that promotes the adoption of the ZK Layer by generating yield and gamifying trading activity.

Where does trading activity take place?

Trading activity occurs on centralized and decentralized exchanges, not within the zkMakers platform.

Will zkMakers be able to read or store any sensitive data from its users? No, zkMakers does not store any sensitive user data, as all trading activity is encrypted using ZK-SNARKs technology.

Will zkMakers be able to read or store any sensitive data from its users?

No, zkMakers does not store any sensitive user data, as all trading activity is encrypted using ZK-SNARKs technology.

We never store any secret! That's the beauty of it.

How does zkMakers read the trading activity of a user?

The ZK-Oracle verifies the authenticity of trading activity by accessing it through API keys of integrated exchanges (CEXes) or wallet authentication (DEXes). After processing the trades, the ZK-Oracle generates an encrypted proof of the volume and/or liquidity generated by the user and submits it to the smart contract.

I am a trader. Is zkMakers made for me?

Absolutely! zkMakers is designed to reward traders who generate volume and liquidity in any listed token pair.

I am a crypto project owner or representative. Is zkMakers made for me?

Yes! You can create a reward pool in the zkMakers dMarket Making Marketplace with your token pair and place rewards to attract traders that will generate volume and/or liquidity for your token.

Can I create a pool if my token is deployed on another chain?

Absolutely! The trading activity takes place on the corresponding exchange (outside of the zkMakers platform), so the chain your token is deployed on doesn't impact this. You can place rewards using the chains supported by zkMakers (currently BNB Smart Chain).
