Zero-Knowledge Proof Generation Is Too Slow and Memory-Intensive for Mobile Applications
Generating zero-knowledge proofs on mobile devices requires prohibitive compute time and RAM, making privacy-preserving mobile applications impractical at current performance levels. The gap between ZK proof requirements and mobile hardware constraints is a structural barrier to building privacy-first mobile products. As privacy regulation grows and user expectations rise, this bottleneck blocks an entire class of applications from being built.
