What if every government interaction was visible to all, but every citizens interaction was only verifiable to all?

#Privacy #ZK #zeroknowledgeproof

Imagine a #cometBFT using #bitcoin as the native asset (for stake & pay) and a ZKP as the state mechanism (each block is just a single ZKP [like #mina]).

All interactions are private, so validators can only see if the requested state update is verified as possible from the previous hash. Then choose to update the state or not (censoring based on content is not possible).

You can have a bunch of these chains running independently each with their own validator set, and they can communicate via #IBC.

While each validator set runs on the trust of a #BTC slashing protocol, they also can be public validators with a reputational risk.

In summary, imagine a hash that updates every 4 sec and can be used to verify any statement as true or false.
