[ZK proofs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/zero-knowledge-proofs-zkps) offer promise in [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) by proving computations and reducing verifiers' workload. The Kalypso marketplace outsources proof generation for faster, cheaper, and more efficient computation. It prioritizes privacy through secure enclaves, operates independently across ZK circuits, and aims to streamline developer tooling.
