zkVerify Announces Arbitrum Integration for Proof Verification

Reducing proof costs by 91% and speeding up verifications, enabling advanced privacy features and next-generation decentralized applications on Arbitrum

We are excited to announce our integration with Arbitrum, the leading Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution. This integration will enable Arbitrum-based applications to leverage zkVerify's dedicated proof verification infrastructure, significantly reducing costs and computational overhead while expanding possibilities for developers. The zKverify network will help pioneer zero-knowledge proof verification for Arbitrum.

Zero-knowledge proofs allow users to verify information without revealing sensitive data – from proving ownership of assets to validating identity credentials. However, verifying these proofs traditionally requires significant computational resources and can be expensive. By making proof verification faster and more cost-effective, zkVerify enables Arbitrum applications to implement privacy-preserving features and complex verification processes that would otherwise be impractical.

This allows Arbitrum to focus on its core strength of scaling Ethereum transactions while zkVerify handles the specialized task of proof verification, ensuring the network's performance remains optimal for users.

For users, this integration transforms everyday blockchain interactions. DeFi users can now prove their creditworthiness privately while paying cents instead of dollars, DAOs can run secure votes for thousands of members in hours rather than days, and games can deliver verifiably fair gameplay without lag. These aren't just improvements – they're entirely new possibilities for how users interact with their favorite Arbitrum applications.

The integration delivers the following improvements for Arbitrum users and developers:

• Reduced costs for proof verification, with savings of up to 91%.
• Significantly faster processing times, reducing verification operations that traditionally take days to complete within hours.
• Faster transaction processing for applications requiring proof verification.
• Support for multiple proving schemes, enabling developers to choose the most suitable solution for their specific use case.
• Meaning enhanced scalability for applications handling large volumes of proof verifications.

This collaboration is particularly significant for decentralized applications requiring frequent proof verification, such as private DeFi protocols, zero-knowledge voting systems, and games with verifiable randomness. These applications can now operate more efficiently on Arbitrum while maintaining its security and decentralization.

The integration is currently live on testnet, with mainnet deployment scheduled for Q2 2025. Developers interested in implementing zkVerify's proof verification capabilities in their Arbitrum applications can access documentation and development tools through the zkVerify developer portal.

"This integration represents a significant step forward for both platforms," said Rob Viglione, co-founder and CEO at Horizen Labs, the development team behind zkVerify. "By providing Arbitrum developers access to efficient proof verification infrastructure, we're enabling them to build more sophisticated applications while maintaining the speed and cost advantages that make Arbitrum attractive."

"zkVerify's integration with Arbitrum demonstrates how our technology can support advanced privacy solutions," said Nina Rong, Head of Partnerships at Arbitrum Foundation. "This advancement showcases the ability of Arbitrum's infrastructure to enable sophisticated zero-knowledge applications while maintaining exceptional cost-effectiveness and performance. We're excited to see zkVerify leverage our network to significantly decrease costs of proof verification to developers building on Arbitrum."
