ZK Compression
summary
ZK Compression compresses millions of Solana accounts into Merkle roots stored onchain while keeping full data offchain and verifying changes with SNARKs, delivering 1,000× cheaper accounts. It supports PDAs, live decompression back to SPL (decompress to SPL), and proofs shrunk to 128-byte proofs with millisecond proving times demonstrated in a demo (42 compressed mints, 12 transferred). An open source indexer and snapshots let nodes sync in ~15 minutes (Photon indexer snapshots), and Forester nodes manage tree rollovers for ongoing state growth.
