Methodology
Overview
This project captures the amount spent in gas and the volume of proofs verified by different zero-knowledge (ZK) protocols on the Ethereum Mainnet. Where possible, the gas costs specifically associated with verification are separated from other transaction-related gas expenses.
By no means does this capture the full spending of a project, nor does it account for all of the spending on mainnet. The projects included represent the largest in terms of spending and volume as well as those that have requested to be represented. The metrics collected are for spending on running ZK proofs.
Data Sources
Dune is used for collecting metrics for each of the projects below. The queries used are from the Nebra ZKP Verification Cost dashboard.
Calculations
The methodology used to calculate the proof volume and the associated costs follow the same format.
The proof volume is the total number of verify or prove function calls
The cost is calculated by summing the gas spent on these function calls
Projects
The following projects are included in the metrics collection:
*A Standard Crypto portfolio company
