The comment didn't say that ZKP had nothing to do with blockchain. The comment said that blockchains are not needed/involved for a zero knowledge proof, just like war is not needed for radar.


Actually I meant blockchain qua blockchain, that is, ledger and consensus. There is no ledger and consensus at all in this system.

If people want to redefine blockchain to mean zero-knowledge, and they want to redefine zero-knowledge to mean succinct as they all seem to have done, it's not my problem.

There is no blockchain here, period.
