Scaling Blockchain Applications with Zero-Knowledge Proofs
April 20, 2024 • Richard Nthiwa Mutisya
This paper presents comprehensive research on using zero-knowledge proof systems for blockchain scalability. We introduce novel optimization techniques that reduce proof generation time by 87% and verification costs by 62%, while maintaining security guarantees. Our ZK-Layer architecture enables throughput of over 10,000 transactions per second with on-chain verification.

November 15, 2023 • David Parseen Maitoyo
This paper introduces a comprehensive risk assessment framework for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. We develop a multi-dimensional risk model that quantifies technical, financial, and governance risks through formal metrics. Our framework has been validated against 26 major DeFi protocols, successfully predicting 83% of security incidents over a six-month evaluation period, with minimal false positives.
