Solana’s Mid-April Bug Traced to Zero-Knowledge Proofs—Because Crypto Can’t Even Fail Simply
Solana’s Mid-April Bug Traced to Zero-Knowledge Proofs—Because Crypto Can’t Even Fail Simply

Solana’s engineers spent April untangling a gnarly network bug—turns out the culprit was the very tech meant to keep things secure. Zero-knowledge proofs, the darling of privacy-focused blockchain builds, somehow birthed a vulnerability that left devs scrambling.
How’s that for irony? The feature designed to verify without revealing... revealed a bit too much. Classic crypto—where cutting-edge math meets ’oh god why is my node crashing.’
Meanwhile, Wall Street still thinks ’ZK’ stands for Zuckerberg. Keep stacking those sats, folks.
