Description

ZK Compression enables secure state compression on Solana through zero-knowledge proofs, reducing on-chain storage costs while maintaining L1 security and composability. The system includes the Light-Token Program, which reduces mint account creation costs by 200x and token account creation by approximately 100x through compressed account implementations that remain interoperable with SPL and Token 2022 standards.
