it’s not exactly the same problem but i feel like there’s some overlap between the problems we solve to build penumbra clients and problems that show up in farcaster

prefigurative politics means building privacy, not just critiquing surveillance

basically, there’s a role reversal involved in building a private system with zk proofs, where you get privacy by doing execution on the client and proving it to the server. but now the client has to sync the state it’s executing on… https://i.imgur.com/rZUKSyj.jpg
