PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our ZK Development Process
A structured, security-first approach to integrating zero-knowledge proofs into your energy trading platform, designed to deliver production-ready solutions with minimal risk and maximum efficiency.
01
Architecture & Protocol Design
We design the optimal ZK circuit architecture for your specific energy trading use case, selecting the right proving system (e.g., Groth16, Plonk) and framework (e.g., Circom, Halo2) to balance proof generation speed, verification cost, and trust assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our zero-knowledge proof solutions secure and scale your commercial energy trading platform.
ZK proofs allow market participants to validate trades and settlements without exposing sensitive commercial data like exact pricing, proprietary bidding strategies, or counterparty identities. This enables compliance with data privacy regulations (like GDPR) while maintaining a transparent, auditable ledger for regulators. For example, you can prove a trade met grid balancing requirements without revealing the exact MWh price.
