About
Light Protocol is a zero-knowledge infrastructure layer built on Solana. Its core innovation, ZK Compression, allows developers to create tokens and program-derived addresses (PDAs) at a fraction of the on-chain state cost, without sacrificing L1 performance or security guarantees. The protocol uses small zero-knowledge validity proofs to ensure the integrity of compressed state, enabling dramatically more scalable and cost-efficient applications across DeFi, NFTs, and airdrops on Solana.
