According to BlockBeats, on June 24, The Block reported that Solana ecological privacy project Light Protocol and Solana infrastructure provider Helius Labs launched ZK Compression 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 instead of more expensive account space to store certain types of data. "Hashes" or "fingerprints" of off-chain data are stored on-chain for verification using "sparse state trees."
