YouTube channel<\/a> for additional crypto price predictions.<\/p>\nMina Protocol Zero Knowledge Oracles<\/h2>\n
O(1) Labs, a Mina ecosystem partner, is creating zkOracles, a new kind of blockchain oracle. From the official YouTube channel of Mina Protocol the O(1) Labs Product Manager Brett Carter provides a high-level explanation of how are zkOracles different.<\/p>\n
“What’s nice about using zkOracles on Mina, thanks to zkApps, is uniquely the two-step execution model. At first, we prove off-chain that we have some piece of information, and that we’ve performed some computation.<\/p>\n
Then we pack it up into a small proof at which point it is verified on-chain. The first off-chain proving step is really unique because you can run a computation locally on your machine.<\/p>\n
In the price feed use case example you can ask numerous APIs that you trust and average the prices across each other. With zkOracles, you’d be able to perform really sophisticated and exciting operations off-chain<\/p>\n
and query the price as many times as you want without paying any cost. Only at which point you’ve received the price that you needed would you execute the on-chain portion — which is just a much more efficient architecture.”<\/p>\n
