Furthermore, the network employs the TypeScript-based Compact DSL to streamline ZK-circuit development for developers and plans a federated, institutional-led mainnet launch.Some of the edge are highligted below; The Developer Edge: Privacy Without the Math Historically, building ZK-powered apps required a PhD in cryptography.
