Zero-knowledge proof is a technology in privacy and blockchain technology in which the prover demonstrates knowledge of data while the verifier asserts the validity of the information without knowing anything about what has been verified

Zero-knowledge proof applies to the use of cryptographic applications that ensure information safety. The user logs on to an application supplying sensitive details like the password without fear of interception or theft by a third party who would approve such a form.

The use of Zero-knowledge proofs is to prove that a secret-based action is correct while keeping the secrets hidden.

Zk-Proof is also known as a Zk protocol and is a prominent feature of privacy-focused blockchains like Zcash.

Zero-knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge is an efficient and applicable Zero-knowledge proof with the fastest validation and a one-time action between the prover and the verifier.

Zk-Snarks verifies the prover's message within milliseconds with just a few hundred bytes thereby preventing prolonged interaction. The prover sends information known only to them and it becomes verified within the shortest time possible by the verifier who cannot access the information.

With Zk-Snarks, cryptocurrency security is enhanced and issues of privacy are prioritized because it ensures transparency and makes transactions on blockchain technology traceable.

A number that expresses the relationship between a change in interest rate and the price of an asset.

Yield sensitivity is an important measure for investors who need to know that a rise in interest rate will not cause a steep decline in the price of an asset.

In general, risk-averse investors will put their money into assets with lower yield sensitivity. That way, they're less likely to lose money if the interest rate goes up.
