XRP Ledger to add native zero-knowledge proof verification

XRP Ledger (XRPL) plans to natively support zero-knowledge proof verification. It has added a foundation to secure privacy required by institutions on public blockchains by linking with the zero-knowledge proof network Boundless.

XRPL aims to verify validity, funding and compliance while keeping amounts, senders and recipients off the public ledger.
