zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs are cryptographic protocols that enable a novel verifiable computation model. They address the limitations of the EVM's Verifiable Computation Model by providing infinite scalability, energy efficiency, and support for private inputs. They can also be used outside of the blockchain.
