Despite the market volatility attributable to cryptocurrencies, the scope of Web3 technologies and their business models is yet unexplored, especially in the Indian context. Few companies like Polygon, Coinbase India, Binance and others are addressing that. In this article, the purpose of Zero Knowledge System as a method to conduct cryptographic proofs is explored, and some policy questions on whether some ideas and assertions of ZKS can be integrated into the domains of law & policy are addressed, considering the role of India as a leader of the Global South.
