Fermah aims to tackle issues related to zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs by acting as a marketplace for ZK proof generation, creating proofs for ZK rollups, ZK bridges and other use cases using affordable and reliable infrastructure, according to a release shared with The Block. Fermah will use the funds to bolster its team across marketing, engineering and other departments, as well as build out its product offering.

"After over 15 years of building ZKPs, I can clearly see that we are approaching an inflection point: the infrastructure is finally in place, and we’re on the precipice of a boom in innovative ZK applications. Fermah will play an integral role in this boom," said Fermah CEO Vanishree Rao in a statement.
