Governance and Security
This module introduces the governance system of ZKB, explains how users propose and vote on protocol changes, and describes the platform's security mechanisms, including the application of staking and zero-knowledge proofs.
ZKB Governance
ZKBase has implemented a decentralized governance system that allows ZKB token holders to propose and vote on protocol updates. This governance system ensures that decisions are made collectively by the community, and all ZKB holders can participate. Token holders can submit proposals covering protocol upgrades, ecosystem changes, and the introduction of new features. Once a proposal is submitted, it will go through a voting process, and the community will decide whether it is approved based on the majority vote. The development team is responsible for implementing approved changes to ensure the platform's development aligns with the community's vision.
In ZKBase, voting power is proportional to the amount of ZKB held by each participant, which means that users who invest more in the platform have greater influence. This mechanism encourages long-term stakeholders to actively participate in governance, thereby promoting the platform's sustainable development. The governance system covers the introduction of new trading pairs, adjustments to liquidity pools, and improvements in user experience and network security.
Governance proposals involve not only technical changes, but also other areas such as reward distribution and allocation of development plan funds. Decentralized governance ensures transparency in decision-making, while the platform's development is guided by the collective opinions of community members.
Security mechanism
The security of ZKBase relies on the combination of advanced cryptographic technology and decentralized mechanisms. The core security feature of the platform isZero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP)This cryptographic proof allows transactions to be verified without revealing transaction details, ensuring the accuracy and privacy of each transaction in the network. This privacy protection feature is an important part of the ZKBase security model, effectively reducing the risk of data leaks or exploitation.
Users can stake ZKB tokens through smart contracts to help secure the platform's operation. Staking token holders are rewarded based on their staking amount and lock-up period. This mechanism incentivizes participants to contribute to the platform's security while ensuring that their actions align with the network's best interests.
The platform further enhances security through community-driven mining programs. These include: Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) mining: Liquidity providers are rewarded for maintaining liquidity on decentralized exchanges. Proof-of-Gas (PoG): Users can reduce gas fees to optimize transaction costs and earn rewards. Proof-of-ZK-Snarks (PoZK): Participants are encouraged to contribute computing resources to generate zero-knowledge proofs. These mechanisms distribute security responsibilities to multiple participants in the network, reducing the risk of centralized attacks or security vulnerabilities.
Highlights
- Decentralized Governance: ZKBase's governance is open to all ZKB token holders, allowing for proposals and voting.
- Voting power is linked to holdings: users holding more ZKB have more influence, encouraging stakeholders to participate in governance.
- Zero-knowledge proof: Ensure the privacy of transactions while maintaining their accuracy.
- ZKB Staking: Enhance security and provide rewards for participants.
- Community-driven mining: supporting network security through various proof mechanisms, including PoL, PoG, and PoZK.
