ZKP can be thought of as a "fancy hash function". It's often puffed up to a mysterious magic level in order to appeal to blockchain audiences, but there's really no magic.

Oversimplification is not helpful either. ZKPs are not glorified hashes. There’s much more mathematics that goes into design of efficient ZKPs and their security proofs.
