Verifiability Theater: Proofs That Prove Nothing About Control
OpenGradient markets zkML + TEE as the fix for untrustworthy AI. Cryptographic proofs that the inference ran correctly. It sounds like real accountability on paper.
But the power? It stays with the node operators. EigenLayer restakers. Whoever controls the largest $OPG stakes. They decide how the network actually runs. Verifiability of the inference itself doesn’t extend to verifying who runs the network or who might censor outputs. Those are different questions. And that’s the part nobody wants to talk about much. They gave you cryptographic proof that the answer is correct but not who decided what question you were allowed to ask.” That line gets right to it. Honestly, it’s mostly theater. The proofs handle one narrow slice. The bigger issue of concentrated control over the system? Still sitting there, pretty much untouched.
