According to Foresight News, Solana ecological privacy project Light Protocol has partnered with Solana infrastructure provider Helius Labs to launch ZK Compression, which aims to expand applications on the Solana network. ZK Compression works through a process called state compression, allowing developers to use Solana's cheaper ledger space rather than more expensive account space to store certain types of data. The "hash" or "fingerprint" of off-chain data is stored on the chain for verification using "sparse state trees."
