Light is a protocol built on Solana introducing ZK compression, a new primitive that enables the secure scaling of state directly on the L1.
Hyperscale state: Solana users and program developers can opt-in to compress their on-chain state via the Light Protocol smart contracts. This reduces state cost by orders of magnitude while preserving the security, performance, and composability of the Solana L1.
A new design space for computation: compressed state via Light natively supports custom ZK compute, enabling previously impossible computation designs on Solana.
