Barak added that ZK-Proofs, a way of verifying onchain data without revealing it, solve this problem:
“Blockchain will improve cybersecurity worldwide, because, for a hacker to get to the actual data, they have to hack individual purses, but their ROI will be a note instead of million -million -not worth it. They will go somewhere else.”
