Light Protocol
ZK Compression · Abyss
The open-source infrastructure layer implementing ZK Compression on Solana, consisting of on-chain programs (Light System Program, Compressed Token Program), an off-chain prover network generating Groth16 proofs, the Photon indexer for state reconstruction, and the Forester service for Merkle tree maintenance. Light Protocol enables compressed accounts, tokens, and PDAs that are 100-1,000x cheaper than standard counterparts while inheriting Solana's security, atomicity, and composability. The protocol integrates with existing tooling via a drop-in SDK mirroring familiar account and token patterns.
