Odaily Planet Daily News: EigenLayer developer Nader Dabit shared some information about zkTLS ELI5:
1. zkTLS is a technology that allows users to prove website data without revealing sensitive information, connecting Web2 data to Web3 applications.
2. zkTLS stands for 'Zero-Knowledge Transport Layer Security' built on the TLS protocol. With zkTLS, users can create data proofs displayed in web browsers. For example, proving bank balances or purchase history without exposing actual data.
3. How it works: zkTLS uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify data authenticity without disclosing the data itself.
Key zkTLS projects: TLSNotary, DECO (Chainlink), PADO Labs, zkPass, Reclaim Protocol. Each has its own approach and focus.
4. Potential use cases: identity verification, social networks, encrypted asset proofs, DeFi lending, medical data sharing.
Current challenge: scalability. Each website needs a defined 'provider' (URL + data location), which can be time-consuming.
5. zkTLS is an active research area. Teams like Opacity Network are working on improving security, efficiency, and compatibility with the latest TLS versions.
