The Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptocurrency project has officially gone live with a fully operational network, backed by over $100 million in self-funded infrastructure, including $17 million allocated to hardware distribution. This launch positions ZKP as a pioneering privacy-focused decentralized network that leverages zero-knowledge proof technology to verify data without exposing sensitive information, addressing growing concerns in AI, finance, and blockchain sectors.
The network's core feature is its verifiable AI compute system, supported by physical hardware called Proof Pods. Each Pod costs $249 and operates on a plug-and-earn model, performing real AI computation tasks, generating zero-knowledge proofs, and uploading them on-chain for validation. Daily output earnings range from $1 to $300 per Pod, depending on the level (1 to 300), with levels upgradeable via software boosts. Proof Pods are shipping globally within five days, and the network is already active with real tasks.
ZKP's token distribution is handled through a transparent Initial Coin Auction (ICA), which releases 200 million tokens daily from a total supply of 90 billion. The auction is math-based and proportional, with a $50,000 cap per wallet to prevent dominance and ensure fairness. Participants bid using supported assets, and allocations are visible on-chain the next day, with no lockups or waiting periods. This model avoids private rounds and insider deals, emphasizing community alignment.
The project has already secured partnerships, such as with FC Barcelona, for private processing of biometric data without exposure. This highlights ZKP's real-world utility in healthcare, finance, and sports analytics, where sensitive data requires secure handling. With the network fully built before public access, ZKP aims to reduce execution risks and establish itself as a top crypto contender for 2025, focusing on privacy, scalability, and decentralized compute.
