On one hand, we still have powerful and dangerous adversaries wanting to exploit users' transaction data, on the other hand, it becomes more apparent that we cannot ignore the flip side of privacy, namely that various obviously malicious actors can utilize it to conceal their undoings. During the talk, I'll dig into the technical aspects of this problem, exploring tradeoffs that occur from countering both types of adversaries with cryptographic techniques based on ZK-SNARKs.
