ZK is transforming web3 one step at a time & now we have a way to track ZK adoption

The number of unique contracts on Ethereum's mainnet calling ZK related precompiles has been growing steadily since their introduction

Major activity spikes are due to ZK rollups like zkSync & Scroll

Maybe the total gas usage or the total number of txns on Ethereum mainnet would a good denominator to compare the growth of zk usage as a whole.

This would provide a clear picture of the proportion of zk-related activity relative to the overall activity on the network.

What do you think?

interesting. the uptick in 2024 is from mainnets going live I presume. What would be a good denominator to compare this against? To show growth of zk usage as a whole
