Ethereum

1/ Throughout reading the reverse engineering attempt of `bigbrainchad.eth` I got reminded how program obfuscation is actually the ultimate cryptographic primitive and the way to general-purpose privacy-preserving smart contracts. Think about it like that: An obfuscator allows a program (in this context a code run via the EVM) to be obfuscated in such a way so it is _impossible_ to disassemble, impossible to modify, but still possible to execute. You are not able to learn anything about the program, except what you can learn from inputs and outputs. I think Ethereum is still in its infancy here and I'd like to see more efforts at program obfuscation.

but isn't that from security perspective high risk?
why as an user do I want to execute a contract I don't know what it does?
fhevm from zama and other confidential evms like oasis sapphire lets you verify code while also having encrypted state

- solidity engineer 
- decentralisation and privacy maxi
- kitesurfer

you can still observe its inputs and outputs, it’s not like you can’t know what its effects are

nope, for example in oasis sapphire tx are encrypted
