Light Protocol
Light Protocol brings ZK compression to Solana, letting developers store account state at a fraction of the usual cost.

What is Light Protocol?
Light Protocol introduces ZK compression on Solana, replacing standard accounts with compressed accounts and state trees backed by zero-knowledge proofs. Developers can scale payments, DeFi positions, and PDAs to millions of users while keeping L1 security and composability. SDKs and APIs handle proof generation and state lookups so applications can adopt compression without managing the underlying cryptography.
