Do you have any recommended readings on zk-proofs? Familiar with crypto, familiar with zcash, but haven’t looked into this enough and sounds promising. I am going to look into it.

It’s been around for a bit already, why is it not more widely adopted compared to BTC/ETH, any thoughts?

zcash initially used zk-proofs only for privacy. It is only now looking to utilize it for scalability.
