Golden Finance reported that Ethereum developer barryWhiteHat stated that with the commercialization of the zero-knowledge proof Virtual Machine (zkEVM), an interesting opportunity has arisen: it can provide private smart contract infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Developers can write Solidity code and compile it using a specific version of the Solidity compiler or some post-processing tools to create private smart contracts. There are some important trade-offs surrounding private global state and privacy, the core reason being: to prove something, one must know what they are proving. Therefore, there cannot be such a private smart contract - one that has a globally public state that you do not know. It follows that there cannot be a private smart contract with a global private state either. For example, applications like Uniswap cannot operate privately.
