The most impactful use of ZKPs would be converting existing registries of various types (particularly, government registries) to be privacy-preserving (under specified conditions) and verifiable (granularly)

Better experience and privacy for billions of people, and simultaneously more efficient law enforcement

and we may not even need chains or tokens for it! imagine that 🤤

interesting that crypto bounties so much larger than normal SaaS

i was just looking at the apple / microsoft / google bounties (and the password managers) and the avg immunefi max payout dwarfs most of these

yeah partially, also a way for the long-tail of web wallets to avoid having to get their plaque on the door, so to speak (imagining an iface like plaid's where users can type to filter down from many future providers; something that kind of replaces WC to give dapps the ability to connect directly, like yall have done)

there goes privacy

P2P + ZK - blockchain offers significantly superior decentralization, efficiency, privacy, verifiability, censorship-resistance and permanence

The *only* thing blockchains are good for is strict global consensus

Alas, many apps are being compromised into blockchains because of financial incentives over rational ones

a lot of the interesting apps or features that could arise from progcrypto (ZK, MPC, FHE, etc) also may not require chains or restaking. and that is okay too 😉
