How Do Different Types of ZKPs (E.g. zk-SNARKs Vs. zk-STARKs) Differ in Terms of Security, Scalability, and Privacy?

zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge) have small proof sizes and fast verification times, making them efficient for blockchains. However, they require a trusted setup ceremony; if the secret parameters from this setup are compromised, the entire system's security is at risk. zk-STARKs (Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge) require no trusted setup (they are "transparent") and are quantum-resistant.

However, their proof sizes are significantly larger than SNARKs, which can lead to higher on-chain data storage costs.
