Tron network founder Justin Sun said his blockchain networks — TRON (TRX) and BitTorrent (BTT)– are exploring ways to integrate zero-knowledge Ethereum (ETH) Virtual Machine (zkEVM) into their ecosystems.

Meanwhile, Sun’s statement comes at a time when the development of Zero-knowledge proofs is gaining momentum. In March, Matters Lab and Polygon zkEVM went live on the mainnet.

It is uncertain how the integration will work.
BitTorrent is a cryptocurrency token project that Sun acquired in 2018. Tron is a smart contract blockchain network with the total value of assets locked within its ecosystem at $5.37 billion, according to DeFiLlama data.
