Session
Every new frontier in crypto — network societies, onchain governance, autonomous agents — runs into the same tension: privacy and verifiability. Legitimacy depends on both. A vote must be real without revealing who cast it. A credential must be valid without exposing the person behind it. Shared computation must be correct without any single party seeing the whole picture. The infrastructure is now catching up to the problem: ZK passport registries, proof-of-humanity, private shared state, programmable confidential execution. This panel brings together builders working across that stack to explore where privacy, identity, and verifiability converge — and what legitimate coordination actually requires as the ecosystem matures.
