What is Nil Foundation

A Proof Market will help provide industry players with a trustless and seamless protocol for sharing zk-proofs without having to rely on centralised intermediaries, the nil; Foundation noted in the announcement.

According to the Nil Foundation team, the market already has state proofs for Solana and Mina, while the same should be available on more blockchains soon. Industry players can now use the generated proofs to secure data exchange across Ethereum.

But a fully-fledged Proof Market will work as a zk-proof marketplace, allowing for further accessibility to proofs as blockchains eye more security and scalability.
