Zeko Labs

San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

Zeko Labs is developing the Zeko Protocol, a cross-chain zero-knowledge scaling protocol built on Mina in partnership with o1Labs and the Mina Foundation. The protocol aims to give developers advanced zero-knowledge-proof capabilities, including recursive proof aggregation, to expand the design space for both EVM and non-EVM applications. Zeko positions its technology to enable privacy-preserving zkApps that support finance, AI, gaming, and broader internet services while improving scalability, data security, and interoperability. The company says the protocol will empower individuals with greater control over assets and identity and lower barriers to entry for developers and enterprises. Zeko plans to use newly secured capital to expand the team, accelerate product development, grow its developer community, and foster strategic partnerships across blockchain and traditional software sectors. The company recently closed a $3 million pre-seed funding round to support these efforts.
