okay this is the part that actually explains how the privacy in "private leader extraction" works
mechanically, not just conceptualy.
every generator with an eligible bid computes a score using a secret only they know. hashed together with the round and step number. $HEMI

if that score clears a dynamic threshold, congrats, youre the leader for that round.

nobody else can predict the score in advance because they dont have the secret. but everyone can verify it after the fact through a zero

knowledge proof, without ever learning what the secret was.

thats the actual trick. you get provable fairness without giving up the 0ne thing that made the extraction private in the first place.$AIO
my open question is how often the threshold gets recalculated and

whether thats recalculation itself leaks any timing info??
