Could ZK proofs enable privacy-preserving transactions on Kaspa?

ZK proofs could allow Kaspa transactions to prove they satisfy required rules without revealing the underlying details — such as amounts or addresses. On most public blockchains today, every transaction is fully visible: anyone can see how much was sent and who sent it. Zero-knowledge proofs offer a way to prove that a transaction is valid — for example, that the sender holds sufficient funds — without exposing the actual values involved. The source describes this as proving "a transaction satisfies certain properties without revealing underlying details." For beginners, this means ZK proofs could one day give Kaspa users a privacy option while still allowing the network to enforce its own rules without seeing the raw data.
