About zkVerify
zkVerify is a dedicated zero-knowledge proof verification L1 built by Horizen Labs on Substrate that does only verification: it accepts proofs from different proving systems and, once verified, sends an attestation to the target chain. It addresses the cost and compatibility of verifying proofs on general-purpose chains: Ethereum's EIP-196/197 precompiles only support the BN254 curve and are restrictive, and newer proving systems usually need format conversion and aggregation first; the team claims separating verification from settlement cuts costs by up to 90% versus verifying on-chain directly. Verifiers plug in as pallets for Groth16, FFlonk, Risc0, UltraPlonk and SP1, with proof aggregation and Merkle attestations for cross-chain delivery, and the network uses nominated proof of stake with 70% of fees burned and 30% to block producers from 31 March 2026.
In April 2026 it held a developer meetup in Hyderabad with over 100 attendees and closed the Zero Doubt India tour the same month; in July it partnered with custodian Copper to apply verification to settlement transparency, and Glyph Protocol integrated its verification for cross-wallet eligibility proofs. The team reports annualised verification above 35 million proofs. The value of a dedicated verification layer depends on how many proving systems choose to outsource final verification instead of deploying their own verifier contracts.
Burn mechanics: A fee-distribution upgrade activated on 31 March at block 2,805,170, burning 70% of every fee and paying 30% to the block author. By October, 752,425 VFY had been burned, an annualised burn of 0.171% that cut net inflation from 2.5% to 2.33%.
Unlocks: On 28 October, 33.71M VFY unlocks, equal to 3.4% of total supply and about 9.2% of market cap, with 44.8% going to insiders and 22.8% to investors. Supply is capped at 1B with 2.5% annual emission; the 28 February 2027 event equals 13.4% of market cap.
In 2026 zkVerify formed a technical integration partnership with Amadeus, a high-performance L1 for AI agents: Phase 1 ( Q4 2025 – Q1 2026 ) deployed the zkVerify–Amadeus bridge and on-chain verifier contracts, enabling ZK validation of Useful-Proof-of-Work compute jobs, while Phase 2 ( Q2 2026 ) scales it into Amadeus's core proof-settlement layer.
zkVerify already delivers sub-second verification with over 90% lower cost than on-Ethereum verification and accepts proofs from Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin L2s and more.
Future strategy and roadmap: Looking ahead, zkVerify will ship aggregated proofs for batch efficiency, extend verification into AI and compliance use cases, and upgrade governance and ecosystem incentives to strengthen verifiable infrastructure for AI compute.
