Abstract
We have implemented and deployed zkLogin on the Sui blockchain as an additional alternative to traditional digital signature-based addresses. Due to the ease of web3 on-boarding just with social login, many hundreds of thousands of zkLogin accounts have already been generated in various industries such as gaming, DeFi, direct payments, NFT collections, sports racing, cultural heritage, and many more. CCS Concepts • Security and privacy → Digital signatures.
