What are the technical properties that like crypto natives, the hardcore crypto natives that want to like pop open the hood and compare Arc to our frame of reference, which is like Ethereum, for example.
voice-verified
So Arc has a validator set.
voice-verified
some parts of the validator set that are permissioned.
voice-verified
Maybe you can talk about just like the basics of the protocol and how that like diverges from what the standard is.
voice-verified
Let's since you brought up privacy, let's just dive in to that part.
voice-verified
You said that there are public transactions and private transactions feels pattern patterns wise, similar to Zcash, you have shielded Zcash, you have unshielded Zcash.
voice-verified
But is
voice-verified
Is the privacy on ARK complete?
voice-verified
Like does ARK and the validators, are they able to kind of backdoor the privacy or is the privacy actually like as strong, for example, as something like Zcash where if it is private, it is truly locked down and private.
voice-verified
How would you qualify the level of privacy that you get on ARK?
voice-verified
And just to make sure I understand the question, the answer, the trust assumption for privacy on ARK is via TEEs.
voice-verified
That is how ARK achieves privacy.
voice-verified
That is the trust assumption.
voice-verified
We have an ARK privacy sector.
voice-verified
Like we talk about it in the white paper, like essentially, yeah.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
No one can look inside a TEE except for the manufacturer.
voice-verified
manufacturers probably not doing that.
voice-verified
Is there a plan to evolve the privacy to something like straight cryptography or are we satisfied with like the TEE as the trust assumption?
