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.
Summary
It lists 1–10 employees. It has raised $4.2M in total across 1 round, most recently a $4.2M Seed round in Oct 2022. Investors include Polychain Capital, Solana Ventures and Hypersphere Ventures.
