                  • Originally described by Goldwasser, Micali, and Rackoff in their 1985 paper "The Knowledge Complexity Of Interactive Proof Systems", zk proofs are a type of cryptographic proof defined as "those proofs that contain no additional knowledge other than the correctness of the proposition in question".

                    Greg Maxwell, who wrote about "zero knowledge contingent payments" in the Bitcoin Wiki in 2011. Maxwell later worked with Sean Bowe, Pieter Wuille, and Madars Virza to implement the protocol in 2016.34 In May 2013, Miers et al published the Zerocoin paper, showing how zk proofs could be integrated directly into the bitcoin protocol to hide the addresses involved in a bitcoin transaction

                                    • Borrowing from Fed's emergency lending program rose to a fresh record, just before Fed raised the facility’s interest rate to stop financial institutions from taking advantage and arbitraging on its attractive terms. Demand for Bank Term Funding Program rose $6.3bn to an ATH of $167.8bn.

                                      Borrowing has jumped by $50bn since mid-November after program’s rate increasingly fell below the rate at which institutions could earn money by parking reserves at Fed. Any increase from here is not arbitrage-driven. (BBG)
