Abstract:
The metaverse is growing rapidly, providing new ways for people to interact and engage in
virtual activities. Metaverse smart contracts are crucial for managing digital assets, but as the
metaverse expands, so do security concerns. It's essential to find effective methods to protect
users' privacy and ensure data integrity. This research focuses on using a special technology
called Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARK) to
enhance the overall security of the metaverse environment.
Zk-SNARKs are a cryptographic technique that allows users to prove the validity of their
actions without revealing any private information. This ensures high levels of privacy and
confidentiality. Our study explores how integrating zk-SNARKs into the metaverse can
strengthen security measures. We review existing research to understand the current security
challenges in the metaverse and examine previous efforts to develop privacy-preserving
solutions.
We propose a framework that uses zk-SNARKs to enhance the security of the metaverse
environment. This involves incorporating zk-SNARK technology to verify actions securely and
protect digital assets. We evaluate the performance of our solution by measuring its
effectiveness in improving privacy, efficiency, and scalability. By focusing on this innovative
application of zk-SNARKs, our study offers new insights into securing the metaverse and
presents a promising approach to making virtual interactions safer and more trustworthy for
users.
