What Is Super Zero Protocol? (SERO)
Super Zero Protocol or Sero is a unique privacy protection platform for decentralized applications (Dapps). The platform achieves privacy protection via non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proof, a blockchain encryption algorithm for enhanced data protection. Thus, Sero is an anonymous and privacy-focused smart contract platform.
As per its whitepaper, the internet has an efficiency of information dissemination, yet, it lacks privacy. The internet applications lack adequate data security protection mechanisms on centralized platforms. Similarly, blockchain is treated as a great tool to protect privacy, yet if an identity of a wallet holder is revealed on a public blockchain, the loss cannot be reversed. Due to privacy concerns, the widespread adoption of decentralized smart contracts becomes challenging.
The SERO platform realizes the importance of privacy protection and thus seeks to present complete privacy solutions to both users and developers of Dapps. Besides this, SERO supports Turing Complete smart contracts. Turing Complete is a term used for modern programming languages like C++, Python, etc. Further, the SERO protocol allows developers to create encrypted cryptocurrencies supporting smart contracts based on the SERO-Chain. The SERO team intends to build a three-in-one suite with advanced innovative technology components for a complete privacy protection solution. The two other protocols, after SERO, are ALIEN and CASTROL protocols.
Some of the platform's main features include untraceable transactions, un-associable payment addresses, and continuous research and development.
SERO is the protocol's native digital token and is used to pay fees on the SERO platform.
History of Super Zero Protocol (SERO)
The protocol's core team comprises six people, Leyla, Dr. Leo Xu, Robert B., Jason Pope, Durant D., and Gordon T. Leyla who has an academic background in computer science and started her career as an underlying protocol developer. She is GLAB Blockchain Group's co-founder. At the same time, Robert is a serial entrepreneur and is a veteran in the venture capital industry. Suyang Zhang serves as a consultant for the platform.
The protocol's first whitepaper version was released on January 10, 2019.
