## What it is
ZK Credo is a manifesto repository from Matter Labs (zkSync) articulating a vision and set of principles for the zero-knowledge ('ZK') revolution in Web3. It is a written credo—covering integrity, privacy, and 'magic'—rather than a software library or tool.

## Use cases
- understand the zkSync team's philosophy on zero-knowledge technology
- read the guiding principles behind ZK and Web3 development
- cite a credo on privacy and computational integrity in blockchain
- learn how ZK proofs relate to freedom and prosperity narratives
- reference community values when contributing to the zkSync ecosystem

## When to choose
- you want the official vision and principles document of the zkSync/ZK Credo movement
- you need a concise manifesto explaining integrity, privacy, and usability goals of zero-knowledge tech

## When to avoid
- you need runnable code, SDKs, or libraries for building ZK applications
- you want technical documentation or tutorials on zero-knowledge proof systems
- you expect an actively developed software project rather than a statement of principles

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: cryptography, documentation
- domain: blockchain, privacy, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: zero-knowledge-proofs, manifesto, web3, zk, philosophy, cryptocurrency, web-server
