DogeOS has unveiled an ambitious upgrade to Dogecoin Core with OP_CHECKZKP a native zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) verification opcode. This enhancement supports Groth16 and PLONK proofs and includes a mode selector for future systems. The upgrade aims to enable zk-rollups and confidential transactions on Dogecoin while making it EVM-compatible through a zkVM. This move positions Dogecoin as a versatile platform for DeFi, gaming, and identity applications. Developers can explore building composable dApps and trustless bridges leveraging ZKP for privacy and scalability.
