What is ZK Compression?
ZK Compression is a framework that reduces the storage cost of Solana accounts by combining generalized state compression and .
State Compression
Instead of storing account data in millions of on-chain accounts, state compression stores account data on the with cryptographic security. Only a small fingerprint is stored on-chain. This fingerprint allows transactions to use the account data inside Solana's virtual machine as if it were stored on-chain.
